Collaborative development

0. In this scenario we assume the registry has been initialized and that an entry has been added (CLI).

$ transport registry add address-db ./http-auth.json

The python code would look like the following :

        import transport
        
#   
        
# we are using "address-db" to refrence the content of http-auth.json file
        
dbreader    = transport.get.reader(label='address-db')   
        
_df         = dbreader.read()
        
print (_df.head())

1. Alternatively it is possible to directly use the authentication file dubbed "auth-file".

    import transport

#

#  http-auth.json contians connectivity parameters.

dbreader    = transport.get.reader(auth_file='http-auth.json')    

_df         = dbreader.read()

print (_df.head())

Non-collaborative development

In this scenario, we are using connectivity parameters in the code. This scenario is suited for non-collaborative environments.

        import transport
        
#
    
#   In this scenario we are loading an SQLite3+ database
    
url= "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/codeforamerica/ohana-api/master/data/sample-csv/addresses.csv"
    
_args = {"provider":"http","url":url}
    
dbreader    = transport.get.reader(**_args)    
    
_df         = dbreader.read()
    
print (_df.head())

It is possible to initialize the registry; run ETL from your code as well as from the command line (CLI). We compiled this in notebooks available in our code repository
