Component body

The meeting of Drupal and Quandl. Where open source meets open data.

Quandl is a clearinghouse for time series, public information from a wide range of sources with millions of datasets.

This module provides a wrapper around the Quandl API to allow consistent use of different datasets.

There are 2 main modules currently provided.

The Quandl module handles the creation of a Quandl object and marshals queries through the Drupal cache system. It also provides developer access to the Quandl object if you want to get your hands dirty.

The Quandl Views module provides a a custom query object for Views that allows Quandl query results to be displayed and processed using Views

There are also 2 example modules.

Quandl Examples provides some simple examples of using the Quandl object. In particular it shows how to use Quandl Multisets.

Quandl Browser also provides some page examples of using the Quandl object to browse datasets.

Installation

  1. Download and install in your preferred module location.
  2. Obtain a Quandl API Key from Quandl.com

Roadmap

Future releases will provide the following modules

Quandl Uploads will allow you to manage and process data and upload it (using cron) to your datasets on the Quandl servers. This module will also allow you to manage Quandl Supersets and upload them automatically to Quandl servers.

Uploading seems to be unsupported by Quandl at the moment.

Quandl Feeds will provide a Feeds fetcher for using Quandl data in Feeds.

Quandl Charts provide simple charting (using Highcharts) capabilities.

Alternatives

Quandl's API is very simple GET based API. One could easily write interfaces using Feeds or cURL and any of the other data consumptions APIS out there.

These modules aim to provide a simple suite of tools for consuming and utilising Quandl data within a Drupal site quickly and effectively.

Coming very soon.
