Python implementation of openrefine

[Azfar Faizan]

Hi, I am new to openrefine and  I have installed the refine-client library for running it in python 3. But i do not have clear documentation about the methods and classes and how should we use them. Can anyone help me out in getting some quality documentation from which I can learn it. 

I have worked with the exe file and do data cleaning manually but do not know how to learn my algorithm on top of openrefine. 

Thanks in advance for your help.

Sorry for the late reply. 

Which library are you using? The refine-client-py or the refine-python

AFAIK, most people use the library to batch process a file by passing a JSON file containing all the OpenRefine operation. 

You can read more on your wiki here: https://github.com/OpenRefine/OpenRefine/wiki/OpenRefine-API

Hi, can I ask you how are you running it on python3?

Thank you very much!

Hello,

I personally use this fork of refine-client.py in command line, but it can also be used in a Python script. It seems a little better documented.

But I also use this or-client library, and need to use python2 to set up this, so i wonder if you have changed the urllib2_file library with some other python3 library?

Best,

Lan

Hello, 

sorry for my delayed response. You're right, using this library in Python 3 would need to rewrite it in part. As I said, I use it in command lines with the executable version for Windows. I guess it should be possible to use it in a Python3 script with something like:

import subprocess

#modify just this part
command_line = "openrefine-client_0-3-4_windows.exe --list"

result = subprocess.run(command_line, shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE).stdout.decode('utf8')

print(result)

Just a workaround, but it should maybe help.
