Generic Import Script

The generic import script can be used to import emissions using a generic file format (similar to Bridger data) for any data provider.

CSV Format

The following headers must be present in the CSV file, even though some of them can be blank:

Header	Type	Blank	Help
Plume image	String	YES	Each file referenced in this column must exist in the --data_path folder
Emission detected	Boolean	NO	(Yes/No) or (True, False)
Longitude	Number	NO
Latitude	Number	NO
Detection timestamp	Date	NO	ISO format
Detected rate	Decimal	YES	g/hr
Detected rate uncertainty	Decimal	YES	g/hr
Detection limit	PositiveInteger	NO	g/hr

Notes:

• Owner column is not required, but if it is present, any company found in the file must exist in the platform, or the import script will fail.
• Any additional fields will be stored as extra data object.

Script Arguments

In addition to the common arguments (environment, api_key, data_path), the generic script requires:

• --data_provider - The exact name of the data provider existing in the platform
• --data_source - Source of the data: SELF_REPORTED, THIRD_PARTY, or EPA
• --contains_no_detects - Whether the data contains non-detects: 1 or 0

Example

Example of calling the generic script on prod-testing environment to import EDF MethaneAir data:

python -m importers.emissions.generic --environment staging --api_key {API_KEY_VALUE} --data_path {PATH_TO_FOLDER} --data_provider "EDF MethaneAir" --contains_no_detects 1 --data_source SELF_REPORTED

Another example with a different provider:

python -m importers.emissions.generic --environment staging --api_key {API_KEY_VALUE} --data_path {PATH_TO_FOLDER} --data_provider "Existing Data Provider" --contains_no_detects 1 --data_source SELF_REPORTED
