set up ESS Dive API

Open npr99 opened this issue 7 months ago • 0 comments

Looking into how to upload data for access. Part of DOE project provides access to ESS Dive. ESS Dive has tools for using API service. https://github.com/ess-dive/essdive-tutorials/tree/main

Looks like it is possible to access files directly from ESS Dive. You might need to have an API Key search the files. There is no data on ESS dive for populations or people. So it may not be the ideal place to store the files. But there is one example of population data:

Kovacs K ; Horvath E (2000): The United Nations Population Statistics Database. CDIAC, ESS-DIVE repository. Dataset. doi:10.15485/1464266 accessed via https://data.ess-dive.lbl.gov/datasets/doi:10.15485/1464266 on 2025-03-06

I was able to read in a CSV file directly from ESS Dive into python. The issue is that you have to know what the object ID is. The API service does provide tools for searching the metadata and filenames.
