fcc-api

A pleasant interface for the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) data transparency services.

Other Work

Sure, there's <https://github.com/codeforamerica/FCC-Python-Egg>, but I'm not a fan of the name and it hasn't been updated in a couple years (as of 2014-Mar-12).

Installation

Like most other PyPI packages.

pip install fcc

Or download the source code and run setup.py

python setup.py install

Usage

Import the wrapper functions to use in your code.

>>> from fcc.census_block_conversions import census_block_fips
>>> census_block_fips(34.86,-111.79)
'040250018012017'

Or use the simple command line script.

$ census_block_conversions 34.86 -111.79
040250018012017
$ echo '34.86,-111.79' > coordinates.csv
$ census_block_conversions < coordinates.csv
040250018012017
