This example shows how to retrieve the direct download URL for the latest version of a Python package from PyPI when the package is not hosted on GitHub. It queries the PyPI simple index for each package in a hardcoded list, parses the HTML with BeautifulSoup, and extracts the last version link. The script uses the `requests` library to fetch the page and prints the URL attributes along with the version name for the packages `to-file-like-obj`, `stream-zip`, and `stream-unzip`.

This example demonstrates how to convert a compressed LiDAR point-cloud dataset from IGN’s French national archive into a ZIP archive for easier distribution. The shell script downloads a 7z file via `wget`, decompresses it with `unp`, recompresses the contents into a ZIP using `zip`, and then reports the final disk usage with `du -cksh`. It relies on standard command-line utilities rather than JavaScript libraries, showing a practical data-preparation workflow for large geospatial files.

This example demonstrates a shell script that automates the download and extraction of the latest Linux 64-bit geckodriver release. It shows how to query the GitHub API for the newest release, parse the download URL using `sed`, and pipe the archive directly into `tar` for extraction. The script relies on `curl` to fetch the API metadata and `wget` to retrieve the tarball, providing a one-liner workflow for staying up-to-date with geckodriver binaries.

This example visualizes the process of checking and updating the UPX executable packer to its latest release version. It shows a shell-script-driven workflow that queries the GitHub API for the newest release tag, compares it to the locally installed version, and either reports the tool is up to date or proceeds to download, compile, and install the source tarball. The code relies on standard command-line utilities (`curl`, `jq`, `tar`, `make`) and directly parses version strings, without any graphical or interactive rendering libraries. The rendering approach is purely textual terminal output, with no data visualization beyond status messages.

Recipe to transform latest RNA data to parquet or download data (for 2nd case, uncomment line starting with #)

This example shows how to extract the two most recent RNA datasets from the French open-data platform data.gouv.fr and convert them into compressed Parquet files for efficient analysis. It uses the data.gouv.fr API to fetch dataset metadata, filtering resources by type and sorting by creation date to select the latest files. The scripts then leverage DuckDB’s `read_csv` function with the community `zipfs` extension to read CSV files directly from remote ZIP archives, and write the result to Parquet with Zstandard compression. Equivalent implementations are provided in Bash using `curl`, `jq`, and the DuckDB CLI, and in Python using the `duckdb` library and `urllib`.

A vanilla py-script to download all Pocket.com data via API.

This example demonstrates how to download a complete archive of all Pocket.com saved articles using the Pocket API. It shows the OAuth authentication flow, which opens a browser for user approval, then retrieves every article in batches of ten, displaying each article’s title and URL as it processes them. The script uses Python’s `requests` library to make HTTP POST calls to the Pocket API endpoints, along with the `json` module to parse responses and `subprocess` to trigger browser opening. It saves the full article list as a JSON file.

URL list from Tuesday, Sep. 15 2015 17:53 PM

This web scraper gathers a list of URLs from a Twitter timeline on a specific date, capturing tweets and their links. The page displays the raw scraped data as a plain text list, with each entry pairing the tweet author and content with the corresponding URL. The code uses Python’s `requests` and `BeautifulSoup` to parse the HTML, extracting the tweet text and hyperlinks. The output is a simple, unstyled text file, revealing the collected social media links without any further visualization or filtering.

This example tracks the availability and licensing of the French IGN’s BD TOPO® departmental datasets by organizing URLs for both December 2021 and March 2021 releases. It shows a structured index of geographic data files, with each entry linking to a specific departmental Shapefile resource. The visualization uses a data-driven list format, likely rendered with JavaScript’s `fetch` to parse the provided CSV or JSON and display the sorted URLs. It highlights the variation in resource IDs across departments and time periods, emphasizing the dataset’s scope without mapping or spatial rendering.

Download data from WFS using GDAL Python bindings

This example shows how to download vector data from a WFS (Web Feature Service) endpoint using GDAL’s Python bindings. It demonstrates bulk download of a full layer, plus filtered extracts by bounding box via the `-spat` option, and outputs to GeoPackage, CSV, and GeoJSON formats. The code explicitly configures WFS paging with `OGR_WFS_PAGING_ALLOWED` and `OGR_WFS_PAGE_SIZE`, and uses `gdal.OpenEx` and `gdal.VectorTranslate` to fetch data from the Géoportail WFS service. A separate call requests GeoJSON output directly through the service’s `outputFormat=json` parameter.
