A data review library for the Open Contracting Data Standard (OCDS)

Project description

PyPI Version Build Status Coverage Status Python Version

Command line

Call libcoveocds and pass the filename of some JSON data.

libcoveocds tests/fixtures/common_checks/basic_1.json

It will produce JSON data of the results to standard output. You can pipe this straight into a file to work with.

You can also pass --schema-version 1.X to force it to check against a certain version of the schema.

In some modes, it will also leave directory of data behind. The following options apply to this mode:

  • Pass --convert to get it to produce spreadsheets of the data.

  • Pass --output-dir output to specify a directory name (default is a name based on the filename).

  • Pass --delete to delete the output directory if it already exists (default is to error)

  • Pass --exclude to avoid copying the original file into the output directory (default is to copy)

(If none of these are specified, it will not leave any files behind)

Library

To use this as a Python library as part of a Python script for validating multiple files or testing, you need to:

  1. Install the library with pip:

    pip install libcoveocds
  2. Use it in your Python code, for example:

    import os
    import shutil
    import tempfile
    
    from libcoveocds.api import ocds_json_output
    from libcoveocds.config import LibCoveOCDSConfig
    
    
    data_directory = 'path/to/your/directory/with/json/files'
    temporary_directory = tempfile.mkdtemp(dir=tempfile.gettempdir())
    
    config = LibCoveOCDSConfig()
    config.config['cache_all_requests'] = True
    
    for file_name in os.listdir(data_directory):
        file_path = os.path.join(data_directory, file_name)
        try:
            result = ocds_json_output(
                temporary_directory,
                file_path,
                schema_version=None,
                convert=False,
                file_type='json',
                lib_cove_ocds_config=config
            )
       finally:
           shutil.rmtree(temporary_directory)
    
        # Do something with the result. For example:
        if result['validation_errors']:
            for error in result['validation_errors']:
                print(f'Validation error {error} found in file {file_path}')
        else:
            print(f'No validation errors found for {file_path}')

Code for use by external users

The only code that should be used directly by users is the libcoveocds.config and libcoveocds.api modules.

Other code (in libcore, lib, etc.) should not be used by external users of this library directly, as the structure and use of these may change more frequently.
