Does anyone know any good resources/ tutorials/ books to get started with Bloomberg's API blpapi in python?
I have searched everywhere and I haven't found anything at all..
If you download the API from the official website and you the zip file, you will find an "examples" folder which has plenty of examples.
Then there's the core developer guide if you need help on the schemas.
xbbg is a library with minimum setup and some relatively powerful functionalities:

For example this is how to download historical intraday data:
from xbbg import blp
blp.bdib('AAPL US Equity', '2018-11-21')

I have been successfully using the Python Tweepy library to download data (tweets) from Twitter. I had substantial help with my code using Tweepy. For the next stage of my research, I need to access the Premium Search API, which I cannot do using Tweepy. Twitter recommends using TwitterAPI for premium search, available from #geduldig on GitHub. The problem is I'm new to Python and it would be a steep learning curve for me to learn TwitterAPI. Am I able to use TwitterAPI just to access the premium search API, but use Tweepy for other tasks (implement search query, etc)?
I do not know specifics about the libraries you asked, but of course, you could use both the libraries in your program.
You need to spend a little bit more time grokking the TwitterAPI library. I do not think that amounts to a steep learning curve.
Currently we use ESRI's Business Analyst Online (BAO) to create demographic reports based on geospatial inputs (3-mile ring around an address, or within a city's boundaries, etc.). These are generally output from the point and click web application as PDF or Excel files.
I'm trying to automate the process of retrieving those reports from ESRI BAO. I have installed the Python 3.5+ package arcgis following instructions found here. This seems to get me started with the ArcGIS functionality, but I don't see any API functionality for the BAO toolset. Is there another API package I should be downloading? Or is there documentation on a REST/SOAP API I can call from Python? I've looked over the documentation, but if there's something there about what I'm trying to do I haven't found it.
Has anybody tried to do this before and been successful? Let me know.
After starting trials for several ArcGIS services I found that ArcGIS Online provides access to ESRI's REST API. As of today, once you've signed up (either paying or with a trial) you can navigate to the ArcGIS GeoEnrichment Service Documentation. That documentation tells you everything you need to know about how to access the same reports you would find in ESRI BAO, but through a REST API.
I am new to HBase. I want to insert some data through python into HBase. I googled and found there is HappyBase api for HBase in Python but that, as per my understanding and findings, does not work with Mapr M7.
Please guide what package has to be imported in Python.
Thanks.
I made a library called pychbase that uses the MapR C api called libhbase to connect to maprdb.
The goal is to track the HappyBase API as best as possible. Unfortunately libhbase doesn't provide all the same features that HappyBase does, so I'm raising NotImplementedError when it happens.
Check the Readme out for details on how to install it and let me know if you need any assistance.
Here is the github repo.
I am trying to figure out the difference between Google's GData API ( http://code.google.com/p/gdata-python-client/ ) and Google's APIs Client Library for Python ( http://code.google.com/p/google-api-python-client/ ).
They both seem to be by Google. Which is the official one? How are they different? The second seems to use OAuth primarily.
If anyone has knowledge or experience using either it would be great to get some information about this!
PS: I though about putting this on superuser, but because it is programming related I thought it would be better here.
The difference is the same as the difference between the corresponding Java libraries (http://code.google.com/p/google-api-java-client/ and http://code.google.com/p/gdata-java-client/)
That is, the gdata- version of the code has gone into maintenance mode, probably won't be updated to cover new APIs, but will have bugs fixed as they're found. The google-api- version is under very active development.
There's a good discussion of the pros and cons of each version of the Java api here: http://code.google.com/p/gdata-java-client/wiki/MigratingToGoogleApiJavaClient
The non-java-specific parts of that document also apply to the python api libraries.
These libraries are also intended to support different protocols.
The APIs supported by google-api-python-client are discovery based, while those supported by gdata-python-client use the GData protocol.
I want to try to use the Yahoo Fantasy Sports API for my fantasy football league, but it seems like I can only access the data if I authenticate with Yahoo. Makes sense. However, I am new to Python and have no idea how to get started.
I found a python module on the web
link text
but I don't know how to "install" a file that has a .gz extension on a windows machine.
Simply, any help you can provide on how to use oauth with yahoo in python will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Just use easysinstall
c:/python25/scripts/easy_install.exe yql
Replace path with your computer's python path if necessary.
