# Datahugger - Where DOI :open_hands: Data
Datahugger is a tool to download scientific datasets, software, and code from a large number of repositories based on their DOI [(wiki)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_object_identifier) or URL. With Datahugger, you can automate the downloading of data and improve the reproducibility of your research. Datahugger provides a straightforward [Python interface](#download-with-python) as well as an intuitive [Command Line Interface](#download-with-command-line) (CLI).
## Supported repositories
Datahugger offers support for more than [<!-- count -->350<!-- count --> generic and specific (scientific) repositories](https://j535d165.github.io/datahugger/repositories) (and more to come!).
[](https://j535d165.github.io/datahugger/repositories)
We are still expanding Datahugger with support for more repositories. You can
help by [requesting support for a repository](https://github.com/J535D165/datahugger/issues/new/choose) in the issue
tracker. Pull Requests are very welcome as well.
## Installation

Datahugger requires Python 3.6 or later.
```
pip install datahugger
```
## Getting started
### Datahugger with Python
Load a dataset (or any digital asset) from a repository with the
`datahugger.get()` function. The first argument is the DOI or URL
and the second argument the name of the folder to store the dataset (will be
created if it does not exist).
The following code loads dataset [10.5061/dryad.mj8m0](https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.mj8m0) into
the folder `data`.
```python
import datahugger
# download the dataset to the folder "data"
datahugger.get("10.5061/dryad.mj8m0", "data")
```
For an example how this can integrate with your work, see the
[example workflow notebook](https://github.com/J535D165/datahugger/blob/main/examples/example_datahugger_in_workflow.ipynb) or
[](https://colab.research.google.com/github/J535D165/datahugger/blob/main/examples/example_datahugger_in_workflow.ipynb)
### Datahugger with command line
The command line function `datahugger` provides an easy interface to download data. The first
argument is the DOI or URL and the second argument the name of the folder to store the dataset (will be
created if it does not exist).
```bash
datahugger 10.5061/dryad.mj8m0 data
```
```bash
% datahugger 10.5061/dryad.mj8m0 data

**Tip:** On some systems, you have to quote the DOI or URL. For example: `datahugger "10.5061/dryad.mj8m0" data`.
## Tips and tricks
- No need to struggle with DOIs versus DOI URLs. They both work (and more). Example: The values `10.5061/dryad.x3ffbg7m8`, `doi:10.5061/dryad.x3ffbg7m8`, [`https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.x3ffbg7m8`](https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.x3ffbg7m8), and [`https://datadryad.org/stash/dataset/doi:10.5061/dryad.x3ffbg7m8`](https://datadryad.org/stash/dataset/doi:10.5061/dryad.x3ffbg7m8) all point to the same dataset.
- Do not republish the dataset when you are uploading your data to an scientific data repository. These storages resources can be used better :)
