fs-kaggle

Minimalist jupyter-friendly Kaggle dataset downloader written if F#. Includes CLI and allows progress report customization.

Installation

Project	NuGet	installation via dotnet cli	jupyter notebook
FsKaggle		dotnet add package FsKaggle	#r "nuget:FsKaggle"
FsKaggle.CLI		dotnet tool install -g FsKaggle.CLI

Quickstart

If you're already setup with a kaggle account and the kaggle.json file is under ~/.kaggle, you can just declare the name of the dataset and the dataset owner and sit back while the requested dataset zip is downloaded to the current directory.

You need to use the FsKaggle.Interop namespace to access the C# API, assuming you don't want to have to work around algebraic types and other F# dark magic.

CLI

Use fskaggle --help to see all available options and fskaggle -x to get a list of examples.

fskaggle dataset-owner dataset-name -f dataset-file.csv

F#

open FsKaggle

{ Owner = "dataset-owner"
  Dataset = "dataset-name"
  Request = Filename "dataset-file.csv" 
  (* Use Request =  DatasetFile.All to get the full dataset *)  }
|> Kaggle.DownloadDatasetAsync  
|> Async.RunSynchronously

C#

using  FsKaggle.Interop; // !!

var options = 
    new  DatasetInfo 
    { 
        Owner = "dataset-owner", 
        Dataset = "dataset-name", 
        Request="dataset-file.csv" 
        /* Use Request = null (or just don't set it) to get the full dataset */
    };

await  Kaggle.DownloadDatasetAsync(options);

Sample output:

dataset-file.zip [||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| 100.00%] 1.94 of 1.94MB @ 667.05KB/s
