Analytics
Open Data Hub Analytics is a web tool for visualizing Open Data Hub time series data without writing code. It is useful for quickly seeing how a measurement behaves over time, comparing stations, and sharing a view with others.
Use it to inspect data visually before or alongside building requests against the Time Series API.
1. What you can do
- Build charts from mobility datasets by selecting a data provider, a category, and the values to plot.
- Choose a time range: presets (today, yesterday and today, one week, one month) or a custom range.
- Filter by data provider and category to focus on the stations you care about.
- Adjust the view: change the plot height and toggle automatic refresh for live data.
- Share a configuration: generate a permanent link to a specific chart for colleagues.
2. How it fits your workflow
Analytics reads the same mobility data exposed by the Time Series API. A common pattern is to explore a measurement visually here, then reproduce it programmatically:
- Read the data in your application through the Time Series API.
- For analysis in R, the
bzarR package provides programmatic access to the same data.
