Datasette
|
||||
=========
|
||||
|
||||
*An instant JSON API for your SQLite databases*
|
||||
|
||||
Datasette provides an instant, read-only JSON API for any SQLite
|
||||
database. It also provides tools for packaging the database up as a
|
||||
Docker container and deploying that container to hosting providers such
|
||||
as `Zeit Now`_.
|
||||
|
||||
Some examples: https://github.com/simonw/datasette/wiki/Datasettes

|
||||
Getting started
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
|
||||
::
|
||||
|
||||
pip3 install datasette
|
||||
|
||||
Datasette requires Python 3.5 or higher.
|
||||
|
||||
Basic usage
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
::
|
||||
|
||||
datasette serve path/to/database.db
|
||||
|
||||
This will start a web server on port 8001 - visit http://localhost:8001/
|
||||
to access the web interface.
|
||||
|
||||
``serve`` is the default subcommand, you can omit it if you like.
|
||||
|
||||
Use Chrome on OS X? You can run datasette against your browser history
|
||||
like so:
|
||||
|
||||
::
|
||||
|
||||
datasette ~/Library/Application\ Support/Google/Chrome/Default/History
|
||||
|
||||
Now visiting http://localhost:8001/History/downloads will show you a web
|
||||
interface to browse your downloads data:

||||

||||

|
||||
:alt: Downloads table rendered by datasette
|
||||
|
||||
http://localhost:8001/History/downloads.json will return that data as
|
||||
JSON:
|
||||
|
||||
::
|
||||
|
||||
{
|
||||
"database": "History",
|
||||
"columns": [
|
||||
"id",
|
||||
"current_path",
|
||||
"target_path",
|
||||
"start_time",
|
||||
"received_bytes",
|
||||
"total_bytes",
|
||||
...
|
||||
],
|
||||
"table_rows": 576,

"rows": [

||||
...
|
||||
]
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
http://localhost:8001/History/downloads.jsono will return that data as
|
||||
JSON in a more convenient but less efficient format:
|
||||
|
||||
::
|
||||
|
||||
{
|
||||
...
|
||||
"rows": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"start_time": 13097290269022132,
|
||||
"interrupt_reason": 0,
|
||||
"hash": "",
|
||||
"id": 1,
|
||||
"site_url": "",
|
||||
"referrer": "https://www.dropbox.com/downloading?src=index",
|
||||
...
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
