Data

In all Crunchs, the crunchers can access our datasets as follow:

Regular competitions

The setup command

The easiest way is to use the command provided in the Submit tab of each competition.

This command ensures that you have the latest data and keeps it updated in the event of continuous competitions.

Manual download

If you prefer not to use the CLI, you can access the file via the Resources then Datasets tab.

Those links only work as long as you have accepted the rules.

This page allows you to download files after a competition has ended.

Load the data

Most competition data can be loaded using the crunch_tools.load_data() function. However, some data is too complex or large to be loaded automatically. If this is the case, refer to the Quickstarter, which provides a working example you can use as a base.

The shape of the data is always described in the competition overview. Feel free to ask questions on the Discord server or the forum.

Real-time competitions

Some competitions do not provide data directly via the platform, but instead use a dedicated mechanism.

Always read the competition's overview to learn how to do so.
