Automation of dataset usage Statistics

Hello,Using the dataset named “ods-api-monitoring”, I am able to know the number of download for a specific dataset. However, I would like to perform this task every month, that’s why I want to automate this process using python. I tried to filter the dataset and take the link of the csv generated in order to upload it on python. Nevertheless, I have an error while launching the program, it seems that it has a link with the authentification on the plateform. Do we have access to an API for the dataset “ods-api-monitoring” ?  Or is there another recommended way to retrieve this information?Thank you for your help.Best regards,Eva Berry

Best Practice for Updating Dataset Resources with the Automation API

We are setting up a process to update the resources for our datasets using the Automation API. I am looking for best practice advice. Here is what we currently do, starting with a dataset_id and a file that we want to upload: Retrieve the dataset_uid using the endpoint /api/explore/v2.1/catalog/datasets/{dataset_id}. Retrieve the currently used resource_uid of the dataset using the endpoint /api/automation/v1.0/datasets/{dataset_uid}/resources, with the dataset_uid from step 1. Upload the file to the dataset using the endpoint /api/automation/v1.0/datasets/{dataset_uid}/resources/files, again using the dataset_uid from step 1. From the response I get the file_uid of the uploaded file. Update the dataset resource using the endpoint /api/automation/v1.0/datasets/{dataset_uid}/resources/{resource_uid}, with the dataset_uid from step 1, the resource_uid from step 2, and the file_uid from step 3. Republish the dataset using the endpoint /api/automation/v1.0/datasets/{dataset_uid}/pu

Get ODS to take at least the first value (lat/lon)

I’m trying to use some Openstreetmap data in ODS.However some of the data is formed where there are multiple lat/lon for an ID and when bringing it into ODS, ODS takes none of the lat/lon pairs when there are multiple.  See screenshot of the multiple lat/lon pairs The records with multiple happen to be at the bottom as I think (assume) ODS uses the first 20 rows to determine a pattern.  I want ODS to at least take the first pair of lat/lon so the data is somewhat accurate (at the moment it just ignores this and leaves the lat and lon fields blank. Query used for bringing in the data is here:https://overpass-api.de/api/interpreter?data=%2F*%0AThis%20query%20looks%20for%20nodes%2C%20ways%20and%20relations%20%0Awith%20the%20given%20key%2Fvalue%20combination.%0AChoose%20your%20region%20and%20hit%20the%20Run%20button%20above%21%0A*%2F%0A%5Bout%3Ajson%5D%5Btimeout%3A25%5D%3B%0A%2F%2F%20gather%20results%0Anwr%5B%22highway%22%3D%22elevator%22%5D%28-27.870644599673355%2C152.0219421386719%2C-26.

Highlighting the choropleth tile when refining with an HTML table

I have two datasets, one with polygons and names and one with data.I load the map in the LHS of the screen and use the refine-on-click feature within <ods-map-layer to load a HTML table on the RHS of the screen.However, I’d like to be able to have the map show the selection.I’ve tried using highlight-on-refine="true" but I suspect this doesn’t work because the data on the map is not actually being refreshed!Here is my code:!--scriptorendfragment--><div class="row ods-box"> <ods-dataset-context context="dfesmap,dfesdata" dfesmap-dataset="dfes-primary-polygons" dfesdata-dataset="dfes-2023-primary-data0"> <div class="col-md-8"> <ods-map style="height:560px" scroll-wheel-zoom="true"> <ods-map-layer context="dfesmap" display="choropleth" refine-on-click-context="dfesdata" refine-on-click

"Invalid value for sum of offset + limit API parameter" error with exports endpoint

I do not see any limitations on the offset and limit parameters for the exports endpoint. However, when I make the following request:https://data.longbeach.gov/api/explore/v2.1/catalog/datasets/lbpd-ripa-data-annual/exports/csv?offset=1I get back a CSV file with only 2 rows and the 2nd row says: “Streaming interrupted due to the following error: Invalid value for sum of offset + limit API parameter: 83714 was found but <= 10000 is expected. (error_code: InvalidRESTParameterError)”I thought the 10000 limit for offset+limit only applied to the records input. Is that wrong?If it’s useful, I am able to retrieve the entire dataset at once:https://data.longbeach.gov/api/explore/v2.1/catalog/datasets/lbpd-ripa-data-annual/exports/csv?offset=0

Map Cluster

Is it possible to remove the label indicating the cluster count ? - or at least the option to style it  - so the label has the same colour as the icon behind it?

Additional Supported LanguagesOpen

We have a large segment of our population that is Asian-Indian and their primary language is Hindi. Does ODS have any plans to add more supported languages, specifically Hindi?

Editing geopoint schema

Hi,I understand that geopoint schemas cant be edited when they are the centre of a geoshape, but is there anyway to still be able to edit the description? Mainly to state that this point is in fact the centre of the shape and not a location point (see below) Thanks Ryan

Word component search result

Dear all,it appears that text search for word components doesn’t include results where the word component starts in the middle of a word element.Can you confirm this search result property and is there a possible work-around or a future feature that allows full-text search within words?ExampleText search “kirsch” finds entries with the attribute “Trauben-Kirsche” but not those with “Traubenkirsche”. URLshttps://data.bs.ch/explore/dataset/100052/table/?q=kirsch&sort=arthttps://data.bs.ch/explore/dataset/100052/table/?sort=art&refine.baumart_lateinisch=Prunus+padushttps://data.bs.ch/explore/dataset/100052/table/?sort=art&refine.baumart_lateinisch=Prunus+padus&q=kirsch

Series breakdown: unselect some facet values per default

I want to display the evolution of population in all districts of Würzburg with a line chart. For that I use this dataset.In order to compare the districts, I created a series-breakdown on “Stadtbezirk” facet. But since there are 13 districts, this looks a little bit confusing. At the moment, one could unselect several districts by hand by clicking on them in the legend. In this case, it would be more convenient, if there are all but a one ore two districts unselected by default.Is there any possibility to implement this in the HTML or CSS-Code?At the moment, the code for the chart looks like this:<ods-dataset-context context="stadtbezirkehauptwohnsitzaltersgruppen" stadtbezirkehauptwohnsitzaltersgruppen-dataset="stadtbezirke_hauptwohnsitz_altersgruppen"> <ods-chart scientific-display="false" align-month="true"> <ods-chart-query context="stadtbezirkehauptwohnsitzaltersgruppen" field-x="jahr" maxpoints="0" timescale="year" series-breakdown="stadtbezirk">

Field type of timeOpen

We would like to suggest a new field type/format of time.We have event type data we publish -- some of which are days and some of which have set start and end times.We know we can use date or datetime but there is no time optionthe highlighted ‘event’ goes across days so the system it comes from allows a date selector with no time.  As we are in GMT+10 it displays at 10am on the 17th May to 10am on the 19th May.  The actual event runs on 17, 18 and 19th May at differing times.

ods-chart formating CSS custom library not working

Hello, I am trying to change the thickness of the line in one of my ods-charts. I saw in the documentation that I can use a custom css library to change the formatting (ods-chart: Custom CSS Library – Codelibrary).I added the class="large-chart-series" to my ods-chart and it worked well when I was running the website locally.However when I try to implement the changes in the code editor on the ODS portal I am getting an API error:Is using the custom css library depreciated?What else can I do do change the format of my charts?Below I am pasting the code for the ods-chart I was working on. Thanks for the help  <ods-chart class="large-chart-series" single-y-axis="true" single-y-axis-label="" display-legend="true" label-x="" scientific-display="false" align-month="true" class="no-bg" > <ods-chart-query context="eolienperiodique" field-x="timestamp"
