Further details on the sources and dataflows can be found in the `pandasdmx` [documentation](https://pandasdmx.readthedocs.io/en/v1.0/).\n\n## Install\n\n`simpledmx` can be installed from pip:\n\n```\n$ pip install simpledmx\n```\n\n## Usage\n\nUsers are encouraged to first see the avaiable list of sources:\n\n```\nfrom simpledmx import list_sdmx_sources\n\nlist_sdmx_sources()\n```\nOnce the desired sources have been identified, users can download a Pandas `DataFrame` with the following code:\n\n```\nfrom simpledmx import get_sdmx_data\n\ndf = get_sdmx_data(\n    start_date='2016',\n    end_date='2020',\n    freq='A',\n    sources=['BIS', 'ECB']\n    )\n```\n\nTwo things should be noted:\n* The speed depends on the amount of data to be parsed and downloaded. Depending on the request, it can get slow.\n* Some sources do not provide messages in a way that the backend library, `pandasdmx`, is able to parse. Hence, some sources may not work.\n\n## Known issues\n\n* `simpledmx` returns only the data, not the variable names. The user can learn more about the specific data at hand from the column names: each variable starts with its source, then the dataflow, followed by the key(s) (except for the time period) of that specific dataflow. \n* in some cases, parsing the files downloaded from the original sources can take a long time. This is an issue with XML parsing, not with `simpledmx` or its backend (`pandasdmx`) specifically.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdkgaraujo%2Fsimpledmx","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fdkgaraujo%2Fsimpledmx","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdkgaraujo%2Fsimpledmx/lists"}
