ist-pulse-data-extractor 1.0.2
Pulse Data Extractor

# pulse-data-extractor

An ``easy``-button to take data out of Pulse. Downloads Pulse documents from
Elasticsearch, and saves them to `.jsonl`, `.json`, `.pickle`, or `.csv` format.

## Installation
To install in an existing environment, run this command
```
pip install ist-pulse-data-extractor
```

To define as a project requirement, add the following line to `requirements.txt`:
```
ist-pulse-data-extractor
```


## Usage

### `download`
Performs a multi-process sliced query for documents in a Pulse Elasticsearch index.
Saves the result to format specified by filename extension. Optional flattening of
documents is available (use with caution).
```
from pulse.downloader import download
```

**Required Parameters**
- **index**: Elasticsearch index
- **query**: Elasticsearch query
- **filepath**: Output filepath. File extension should match the desired output
    format. Supported formats include:
    - **.jsonl**: Fastest to download, suited for large datasets. Lowest
                 memory overhead in downstream processes.
    - **.json**: Standard, faster to load than .jsonl, but not suitable
                for datasets that must be loaded into memory at once
    - **.pkl**: Fastest to load if using result in Python script
    - **.csv**: When consuming data with Excel or Pandas. Fields are
                automatically flattened. Recommended to create a
                separate post-processing script if some fields contain
                data that can't be flattened automatically.
- **es_hosts**: Not required if using `ES_URL` environment variable. 
    A list of Elasticsearch hosts. Each item should be a fully-qualified URL 
    with authentication if applicable. This overrides values that may exist in 
    configuration. Example:  
 
        https://elastic:password@node1.host.com:9200,https://elastic:password@node2.host.com:9200
           
**Options**  

- **sample_size**: Maximum number of results to return (default=20000).
- **fields**: A list of fields to return from Elasticsearch. Limiting the
    amount of fields reduces download time.
- **flatten_doc**: Flatten documents. Useful when working with data frames,
    but has nuances. Use with caution.
- **delimiter**: Delimiter to use when flattening fields
- **include_meta_attribs**: Only applicable when flattening. When false,
    all meta.*.attribs fields are discarded.
- **no_flatten**: A list of fields that should not be flattened
- **query_slice_size**: Maximum number of documents per slice (worker)
- **query_concurrency**: Maximum number of queries to run concurrently
- **auto_mkdir**: Automatically create output directory if it doesn't exist

**Example**  

```python
from pulse.downloader import download

download(
        filepath="data/rohingya.jsonl",
        sample_size=10000,
        query={
            "query": {
                "bool": {
                    "filter": [{
                        "match_phrase": {
                            "norm.body": "Rohingya"
                        }
                    }]
                }
            }
        },
        index='pulse-*',
        es_hosts=[
            "https://user:password@dag1.istresearch.com:9200",
            "https://user:password@dag2.istresearch.com:9200",
        ]
    )
```

### `build_query`
Builds an Elasticsearch query
```
from pulse.downloader import build_query
```
**Options**:

- **start_date**: Date range start (eg. `2020-06-14` or `2020-06-14T12:00**:00.000Z`)
- **end_date**: Date range end
- **project_id**: Project ID
- **campaign_id**: Campaign ID
- **where_exists**: A list or tuple containing fields that should exist in 
    each document
- **where_not_exists**: A list or tuple containing fields that should not 
    exist in each document
- **include_match**: A mapping of fields to match queries. Returns documents 
    that match a provided text, number, date or boolean value. The provided text 
    is analyzed before matching. The match query is the standard query for 
    performing a full-text search, including options for fuzzy matching.
- **exclude_match**: A mapping of fields to match queries. Filters documents 
    that match a provided text, number, date or boolean value.
- **include_terms**: A mapping of fields to term queries. Returns documents 
    that contain an exact term in a provided field.
- **exclude_terms**: A mapping of fields to term queries. Filters documents 
    that contain an exact term in a provided field.
- **include_phrase**: A mapping of fields to match_phrase queries.The 
    match_phrase query analyzes the text and creates a phrase query out of 
    the analyzed text.
- **exclude_phrase**: A mapping of fields to match_phrase queries. Excludes 
    matching documents.
- **doc_type**: Pulse document type
- **timestamp_field**: Timestamp field to use for start_date and end_date
- **query_string**: A prepared query string

**Example**
```python
from pulse.downloader import build_query, download

query = build_query(
    include_phrase={
       "norm.body": "Rohingya"
    },
)
download(
        filepath="data/rohingya.jsonl",
        sample_size=10000,
        query=query,
        index='pulse-*',
        es_hosts=[
            "https://user:password@dag1.istresearch.com:9200",
            "https://user:password@dag2.istresearch.com:9200",
        ]
    )
```
