Get started

Alpha

You don't need an account. The Python client reads the public catalog and the data directly.

  1. Install the client. It needs Python 3.12 or newer. The command installs the alpha release, v0.1.3, and the main branch may be ahead of it.
  2. Load a dataset by its id. Every dataset and collection page has a snippet for that page.
  3. Search and build cohorts with the client docs →

This is an early alpha, so datasets and features are still being added and things can change. If something looks wrong, open an issue. Using an AI agent? The client ships a CLI and an MCP server.

Install
pip install "spatialdata-db @ git+https://github.com/theislab/spatialdata-db-client@v0.1.3"
Load a dataset
from sddb import Catalog

cat = Catalog()   # every published dataset
ds = cat.dataset("0yftzwYvxZpqll400000")
# a SpatialData object, cached locally
sdata = ds.to_sdata()

The example loads 0yftzwYvxZpqll400000, the smallest dataset.
