Integrating with code

Using Python

Install the mysoc-dataset package. You can then use the following code to get this file.

        from mysoc_dataset import get_dataset_url, get_dataset_df

        # get the url of dataset
        url = get_dataset_url(
            repo_name="uk_local_authority_names_and_codes",
            package_name="uk_la_past_current",
            version_name="latest",
            file_name="lookup_gss_to_registry.csv",
        )
        
        
        # get a pandas dataframe
        df = get_dataset_df(
            repo_name="uk_local_authority_names_and_codes",
            package_name="uk_la_past_current",
            version_name="latest",
            file_name="lookup_gss_to_registry.csv",
        )
        
      

You can also use this package as a command-line tool:

        mysoc-dataset download \
        --repo uk_local_authority_names_and_codes \
        --package uk_la_past_current \
        --version latest \
        --file lookup_gss_to_registry.csv
      

Use mysoc-dataset --help for all options.
