3. Data Access

In this topic, we will describe how to directly access the data of the Civil IoT Taiwan Data Service Platform using simple Python syntax through the pyCIOT package. To gain a deeper understanding of the different ways to access data with examples, we divide this topic into two units for a more in-depth introduction:

• 3.1. Basic Data Access Methods

  We introduce how to obtain water, air, earthquake, and disaster data in the Civil IoT Taiwan Data Service Platform, including the latest sensing data for a single site, a list of all sites, and the latest current sensing data for all sites.

• 3.2. Data Access under Spatial or Temporal Conditions

  We introduce how to obtain the data of a project in a specific time or time period, and the data of a project in a specific geographical area in the Civil IoT Taiwan Data Service Platform. We also demonstrate the application through a simple example.
