Data Providers

You can use the sec or datamule as a provider; sec is the default.

Using Datamule as a Data Provider

  1. Get a key from the Datamule Dashboard

  2. Configure the API Key

    Using Windows Powershell 

    [System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('DATAMULE_API_KEY', 'your-api-key', 'User')

    Using macOS 

    echo 'export DATAMULE_API_KEY="your-api-key"' >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc

    Using Linux 

    echo 'export DATAMULE_API_KEY="your-api-key"' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

  3. Configure Default Provider (Optional)

You can set Datamule as your default data provider:

from datamule import Config

config = Config()
config.set_default_source("datamule")  # Options: "datamule", "sec"

# Verify your settings
print(f"Default source: {config.get_default_source()}")

The config file is stored in the User's home directory (e.g. for Windows: C:\Users\{username}\.datamule) as config.json

Environment Variables

Make sure to restart your terminal or IDE after setting environment variables to ensure they take effect.
