datawrapper_api

This repository contains scripts for interacting with the Datawrapper API.

Scripts do not currently make edits to charts within Datawrapper. The only active change possible in Datawrapper is publishing unpublished charts in collect_charts_for_export().

Structure

  • get_chart_details.py: Gets chart details and exports them to Excel.
  • export_charts.py: Exports charts as PNGs and/or SVGs.

Usage

Requires a Datawrapper API token to be stored in a DATAWRAPPER_API_TOKEN environment variable. To use collect_charts_for_export() with default arguments, this needs to have the following scopes:

  • chart:read, write
  • folder:read
  • theme:read
  • visualization:read

To use export_charts() with publish=False, the required scopes are only:

  • chart:read
  • folder:read

Note that in Datawrapper, API tokens are all associated with a user account (verifiable by creating a token with the user:read scope and calling the me endpoint).
