automate data download

[erica-sarro]

Hey there,

I've currently got many separate projects that I'd like to analyze as a single dataset. Opening each one individually to download data is very time consuming. Is there currently a method to automate data downloading through bash or another program? (specifically, I'm interested in aggregated events and frequencies of transitions, but this may expand in the future)

Thank you!

Hi,

what do you mean by download?

Hi Oliver, Thanks for the quick response. By download, I mean exporting analyses or observations into a spreadsheet/file. The equivalent of opening a project and then mousing to [ Observations > Export Events > aggregated events ] Or [ Analysis > Time Budget ] or another analysis/export.

Hey Oliver, Just checking in to see if you've had a chance to look into the possibility of automating the data export process. Thank you!

Hi, I started developing a Command Line Interface for BORIS. You will find it in the repository (https://github.com/olivierfriard/BORIS/blob/master/src/boris_cli.py). Check if you can use it directly for your needs otherwise if you have some skills in Python you can enhance it by adding the functions you want. o
