Trading Economics is a gateway to 20 million indicators from 196 countries.

Getting started

Users also have the choice to fork or clone this repository into their local computer. Be aware that if you just clone the repository you will not be able to push changes into our master branch. Thus forking is probably better as it allows you to add new files and push changes.

git clone https://github.com/tradingeconomics/notebooks

Installation

JupyterLab allows users to do data science using a web-based user interface.

pip install jupyterlab

Credentials

While many examples can be run with an anonymous guest:guest key, the best path is for you to sign up for a free developer account at https://developer.tradingeconomics.com/ to get your own API key. With a developer account one gets free access to datasets from the Worldbank, the United Nations, the Federal Reserve, the EUROSTAT, and much more.  Dont' worry! We will never share your email information with anyone. If you do not want to register, consider, the API key guest:guest is very limited.

Protect your credentials! Please set your keys as environment variables before you launch your application.

# linux / mac 
export apikey='guest:guest'

# windows
set apikey='guest:guest'

Running

jupyter lab

Running with Docker

Trading Economics Notebooks Docker packages everything you need to run some data science and analytics. Please swap 'guest:guest' with your key and consider that only notebooks into the work folder will be stored.

docker run --rm --name te-notebooks -p 8888:8888  -e apikey='guest:guest' -v "${PWD}":/home/jovyan/work tradingeconomics/notebooks:latest  start.sh jupyter lab --LabApp.token=''
