## Introduction

[Anki flashcard program](https://apps.ankiweb.net) has more than [2 thousand addons](https://ankiweb.net/shared/addons).  
This dataset contains information about these addons including data from
the [Addon Catalog](https://ankiweb.net/shared/addons), [GitHub](https://github.com/Aleks-Ya/anki-addons-dataset), and [Anki Forum](https://forums.ankiweb.net).  
Usually, the dataset is updated once a month.

### Structure
Folder `history` contains data files for each day when the dataset was updated.  
Folder `latest` contains the most recent day from `history`.

### Excel
The best for **manual analysis** in Microsoft Excel or LibreOffice Calc.  
Location: `latest/xlsx/data.xlsx`, `history/YYYY-MM-DD/xlsx/data.xlsx`

### Parquet
The best for **programmatic analysis** by Python, etc.  
The JSON file contains all parsed fields. The Excel, CSV, and Markdown files contain part of its fields.  
Location: `latest/parquet/data.parquet`, `history/YYYY-MM-DD/xlsx/data.xlsx`

### JSON
The JSON file contains all parsed fields. The Excel, CSV, and Markdown files contain part of its fields.  
Location: `latest/json/data.json`  , `history/YYYY-MM-DD/json/data.json`
JSON schema: `latest/json/schema.json`, `history/YYYY-MM-DD/json/schema.json`

### CSV
Location: `latest/csv/data.csv`, `history/YYYY-MM-DD/csv/data.csv`

### Markdown
Location: `latest/markdown/data.md`, `history/YYYY-MM-DD/markdown/data.md`

## Raw and Stage data
Raw data (collected during the dataset construction) are available in `history/YYYY-MM-DD/raw.zip`.  
It includes HTML pages of the Addon Catalog and responses of GitHub REST API.  
Structure of the raw data:
```
raw-metadata.json
1-anki-web/
    addons.html
    addon/
        {addon-id}.html
2-github/{user}/{repo}/
    {repo}_action-count.json
    {repo}_languages.json
    {repo}_last-commit.json
    {repo}_stars-count.json
    {repo}_tests-count.json
```

Stage data (intermediate data generated during the dataset construction) are available in `history/YYYY-MM-DD/stage.zip`.  
File `4-overrider/overrides.yaml` contains manually curated data which override automatically parsed values.  
Structure of the stage data:
```
1-anki-web/
    addons.html
    addon/
        {addon-id}.html
2-github/{user}/{repo}/
    {repo}_action-count.json
    {repo}_languages.json
    {repo}_last-commit.json
    {repo}_stars-count.json
    {repo}_tests-count.json
3-enricher/addon/
    {addon-id}.json
4-overrider/
    overrides.yaml
```
