locate

✓ from open_radar_data import locate

✗ from open_radar_data import datasets

Fetch a public radar dataset by name. The function downloads it if not cached.

from open_radar_data import datasets # List available datasets datasets.list_datasets() # Download a dataset (returns path to downloaded file) file_path = datasets.fetch('nexrad_level2_example') print(file_path)

Debug

Known issues

breakingIn version 0.7.0 the fetch() function changed from returning a tuple (path, filename) to returning a string path. Code using unpacking will break.

fix

Update callers to expect a single string: file_path = datasets.fetch('dataset_name')

affects: <0.7.0

deprecatedThe function 'get_path()' is deprecated in favor of 'fetch()' and may be removed in a future release.

fix

Replace datasets.get_path('name') with datasets.fetch('name')

affects: >=0.6.0

gotchaSome datasets require internet access to download. The library does not cache aggressively; repeated calls may re-download.

fix

Manually cache the returned path or set environment variable OPEN_RADAR_DATA_CACHE_DIR to a persistent directory.

affects: all
