Detailed Integration Documentation
Dataset Resource Data Retrieval
Purpose
Allows users to retrieve dataset resource data associated with a given dataset ID. This endpoint facilitates easy access to datasets and supports querying to filter the data based on various parameters.
Input Details
- Dataset ID: A unique identifier associated with the dataset you wish to retrieve.
- Query Parameters: Optional filters such as year, region, or category to narrow down the dataset.
Workflow Example:
Step 1
Obtain the dataset ID from the Bayanat dataset catalog.
Step 2
Make a request to the GetDatasetResourceData API using the dataset ID.
Step 3
Parse the returned JSON response to extract the required data fields.
Step 4
Integrate the extracted data into internal systems or business intelligence tools for analysis.
Error Handling and Security
Error Handling
It is essential to handle errors efficiently within your system. Ensure that you properly manage failed API requests by implementing robust error handling and logging mechanisms.
- Common errors may include invalid dataset IDs, missing or incorrect query parameters, and API rate limit exceeded.
Security
Make sure to secure API requests by using API keys or OAuth tokens as necessary, as well as employing HTTPS for secure data transmission.
Integration Setup
API Access Configuration
Authentication
The connector requires secure access to the Bayanat Data API, which may involve the use of API keys or OAuth tokens. Make sure that your system is capable of securely storing and passing the necessary authentication credentials with each API request.
Rate Limiting
Bayanat’s Data API may impose rate limits on the number of requests. It is recommended to monitor your usage and implement retry mechanisms if necessary.
Integration Example
Here is an example of how you can retrieve dataset resource data using the connector:
Step 1
Make a GET request to the dataset resource data API with the dataset ID.
Step 2
Parse the JSON response to retrieve specific data points (e.g., total cases, regions, years).
Step 3
Process the data for further integration into dashboards, reports, or other business systems.
Expected Benefits
Enhanced Data Access
Retrieve government datasets in real-time or historically for analysis.
