kaggle-node

NodeJS Library for Kaggle API, accessible via npm.

Installation

npm i kaggle-node

Development

Authenticate

Authenticating is only needed to access public resources requiring user consent or private resources.

First, you will need a Kaggle account. You can sign up here.

After login, you can download your Kaggle API credentials at https://www.kaggle.com/settings by clicking the "Create New Token" button under the API section.

{"username": YOUR_USERNAME,"key": YOUR_KEY}

Usage

Import and create KaggleNode object.

import { KaggleNode } from 'kaggle-node';

let kaggleNode = new KaggleNode({
  credentials: {
      username: YOUR_USERNAME,
      key: YOUR_KEY
  }
});

Datasets

Search datasets.

let res = await kaggleNode.datasets.search();

/**
Filter search.
  'sortBy' - Apply Kaggle sorting criteria, default 'HOTTEST'.
  'fileType' - Filter by associated file type.
  'license' - Filter by license.
  'search' - Filter by keyword search.
  'tagIds' - Filter by tags.
  'username' - Filter by Kaggle user account.
  'page' - API pagination, pagesize of 20.
  'minSize', 'maxSize' - Filter by bytesize.
**/

let res = await kaggleNode.datasets.search({
  sortBy: DatasetQuerySorting.UPDATED,
  fileType: DatasetQueryFileTypes.JSON,
  license: DatasetQueryLicenses.GPL,
  search: "tools",
  tagIds: [4141, 1070],
  username: 'rashadrmammadov',
  page: 2,
  minSize: 10,
  maxSize: 1000000
} as DatasetQueryOptions);

To learn more about filtering options, check out DatasetQueryEnums.ts.

To interact with datasets, use the associated handle string. This can be found from parsing the dataset's URL or accessing the ref property within a dataset search response.

If you would like to specify versioning, append a versions clause followed by the version number. To learn about a dataset's versioning, navigate to "Data Explorer" on the right-hand side of the dataset's web page or preview the dataset.

Consider https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/jessicali9530/animal-crossing-new-horizons-nookplaza-dataset.

let handleStr;

handleStr = 'jessicali9530/animal-crossing-new-horizons-nookplaza-dataset';
handleStr = 'jessicali9530/animal-crossing-new-horizons-nookplaza-dataset/versions/2';

Preview datasets.

let res = await kaggleNode.datasets.view(handleStr); // application/json

List datasets' files.

let res = await kaggleNode.datasets.list(handleStr); // application/json

Download an entire dataset.

let res = await kaggleNode.datasets.download(handleStr); // application/zip

Download a specific file within a dataset.

let res = await kaggleNode.datasets.download(handleStr, "accessories.csv"); // text/csv

Common MIME types for file responses

Roadmap

To Do

• Datasets
• Notebooks
• Colab

Contributions to this repo are welcome. This library is based off Kaggle's official API repos. I advise referencing them for new implementation, to keep functionality standard.
