Dataset containing all data available from the UNFCCC API at https://di.unfccc.int as of 2020-10-25. Additionally, includes a small library to query the UNFCCC API for a subset of the data, and a script to refresh the data in case newer data is available.

Due to the large size of the full dataset, the dataset is shared using datalad, which is based on git. To download the data, see the dataset page on gin to download individual files from the data/ directory, or clone the whole dataset using datalad:

$ datalad clone https://github.com/mikapfl/read_di_unfccc.git

Then you can fetch the data using datalad:

$ cd read_di_unfccc
$ datalad get -r .

You can learn more about datalad in the datalad handbook.
