Asynchronous Python client for the open datasets of Liège (Belgium).

About

A python package with which you can retrieve data from the Open Data Platform of Liège via their API. This package was initially created to only retrieve parking data from the API, but the code base is made in such a way that it is easy to extend for other datasets from the same platform.

Installation

pip install liege

NIPKaart.nl

A website that provides insight into where disabled parking spaces are, based on data from users and municipalities. Operates mainly in the Netherlands, but also has plans to process data from abroad.

Contributing

This is an active open-source project. We are always open to people who want to use the code or contribute to it.

We've set up a separate document for our contribution guidelines.

Setting up development environment

The simplest way to begin is by utilizing the Dev Container feature of Visual Studio Code or by opening a CodeSpace directly on GitHub. By clicking the button below you immediately start a Dev Container in Visual Studio Code.

This Python project relies on Poetry as its dependency manager, providing comprehensive management and control over project dependencies.

You need at least:

• Python 3.11+
• Poetry

Install all packages, including all development requirements:

poetry install

Poetry creates by default an virtual environment where it installs all necessary pip packages, to enter or exit the venv run the following commands:

poetry shell
exit

Setup the pre-commit check, you must run this inside the virtual environment:

pre-commit install

Now you're all set to get started!

As this repository uses the pre-commit framework, all changes are linted and tested with each commit. You can run all checks and tests manually, using the following command:

poetry run pre-commit run --all-files

To run just the Python tests:

poetry run pytest

To update the syrupy snapshot tests:

poetry run pytest --snapshot-update
