Using Cognite Python SDK

A step by step guide with practical examples and code for using Cognite Python SDK. https://cognite-docs.readthedocs-hosted.com/projects/cognite-sdk-python/en/latest/

Getting Started:

1. First clone the repository using git

git clone https://github.com/cognitedata/using-cognite-python-sdk.git

2. Install the required packages by opening up the terminal on your machine and running the following command

pip install "cognite-sdk[pandas]"

For more advanced users, you can also use poetry to manage your Python virtual environment. If you would like to use this tool, please follow the steps detailed in the next section.

Additional notes for developers:

2. (Advanced) Make sure that you have a recent version of poetry installed. Also change the following setting in poetry

poetry config virtualenvs.in-project true

Open the repo in an IDE (e.g. VS code) and run the following command in the terminal/commandline after navigating to the repo folder, this installs the dependencies defined in the pyproject.toml file.

poetry install

Now you're ready to run the code in jupyter notebooks. (Note: You might need to change the "kernel" to use the virtual environment thath was created by poetry.)

3. Add new libraries if needed

poetry add pandas numpy
