New tools to support IPCHEM users now also available in Python version

Our IPCHEM users retrieve data from IPCHEM for addressing many different questions. This may involve the need for data on multiple chemicals, multiple media or locations. The new open source R software library we published last month is now also available as a Python version to help our users to explore, filter and retrieve the data they need from IPCHEM.

In May we made you aware of our new specific R software library that will make your life easier. The same tools were now prepared also for our users that prefer Python: https://code.europa.eu/ipchem-toolbox/dataretrieval

You will find the code that you can simply use in Python to:

  •        Retrieve lists of Chemicals (given a list of media, locations, periods)
  •        Retrieve lists of Datasets (given a list of chemicals)
  •        Retrieve Dataset's Metadata information (given the dataset code)
  •        Retrieve lists of Data Packages (given the dataset code, media, location, period, etc.)
  •        Retrieve content of Data Package(s) (given the data packages GUIDs)
  •        Retrieve data record SOURCE DATA fields (given the list of JSON field names)

The IPCHEM team is happy to receive your feedback and to work with you on the open source software (JRC-IPCHEM-SUPPORT@ec.europa.eu). 

Stay tuned!
