Jupyter Notebook Tutorials

"What?"

What are they?

These link to executable notebooks on Google Colab and serve to introduce the core concepts for connecting to the Data.gov.ie API as well as more advanced usage for the purposes of data enrichment and visualisation.

They are for you! These demos are designed for anyone with basic coding knowledge and above and are examples of how to access the powerful API behind the portal, with customisable variables and entire snippets of your own code should you wish.

Who are they for?
