datamart (version 0.3.2)

scrapes: List scrapes

Description

The scrapes method returns a list of all defined resources for the given data object that are scrapeable i.e. that can be extracted from some external data source.

Arguments

self
an Xdata object

Details

The names of this list are suitable parameters to the scrape method. The elements of the list are themselves lists that contain parameters for dbWriteTable: savemode ("w" for replacing, "u" for updating), uniq (columns names which may appear only once) dates and timestamps (column names that are converted to character before writing to and after loading from the datastore). By default (XData), scrapes returns an empty list. Inherited classes should override this method if necessary.
