download()
abstractmethod
Download the data.
Only downloads if data is not in CONFIG.cache_dir or CONFIG.force_override is TRUE.
raw_load()
Loads from disk with minimal modification.
Mostly intended to provide insight into the modifications made in the load method.
load()
abstractmethod
Load, harmonize, and optionally pre-process the data.
Default output of load should be compatible with recipe execution.
kwargs can be used to control behaviour that is useful in API, but breaks the recipe. For example, don't convert to geopandas.
to_recipe()
Print out a recipe to reproduce this dataset.
