Documentation for Fetch.

Quick start

The package can be installed with the Julia package manager. From the Julia REPL, type ] to enter the Pkg REPL mode and run:

pkg> add Fetch

Download file from Google drive

Download file or Google Sheet from Google drive via the share link:

using Fetch
link = "https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OiX6gEWRm57kb1H8L0K_HWN_pzc-sk8y/view?usp=sharing"
gdownload(link, pwd())

Download dataset from Kaggle

Download dataset from Kaggle via the name:

using Fetch
dataset = "ningjingyu/fetchtest"
kdownload(dataset, pwd())

Or via the url of the home page of the dataset:

using Fetch
url = "https://www.kaggle.com/ningjingyu/fetchtest"
kdownload(url, pwd())

Intergrate with DataDeps.jl

According to DataDeps.jl, DataDep can be construct as following:

DataDep(
    name::String,
    message::String,
    remote_path::Union{String,Vector{String}...},
    [checksum::Union{String,Vector{String}...},];
    fetch_method=fetch_default
    post_fetch_method=identity
)

By using Fetch.jl, one can upload their dataset to Google drive, and construct DataDep by setting fetch_method=gdownload.

using DataDeps
using Fetch

register(DataDep(
    "FetchTest",
    """Test dataset""",
    "https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OiX6gEWRm57kb1H8L0K_HWN_pzc-sk8y/view?usp=sharing",
    "b083597a25bec4c82c2060651be40c0bb71075b472d3b0fabd85af92cc4a7076",
    fetch_method=gdownload,
    post_fetch_method=unpack
))

datadep"FetchTest"

Or to Kaggle

using DataDeps
using Fetch

register(DataDep(
    "FetchTest",
    """Test dataset""",
    "ningjingyu/fetchtest",
    "65492e1f4c6affb7955125e5e4cece2bb547e482627f3af9812c06448dae40a9",
    fetch_method=kdownload,
    post_fetch_method=unpack
))

datadep"FetchTest"

According to the document of Kaggle-api one needs to set their environment variables KAGGLE_USERNAME and KAGGLE_KEY, or simply download the api token from Kaggle, and place this file in the location ~/.kaggle/kaggle.json (on Windows in the location C:\Users\<Windows-username>\.kaggle\kaggle.json).
