Checking dataset access

CloudQuant Data Liberator provides built-in commands to check your dataset permissions, view available datasets, and access detailed schema information.

Commands

Browse the catalog

liberator.datasets()
Returns datasets visible in the catalog for your account — public datasets and those you are entitled to. Private datasets you are not entitled to are hidden. See Dataset visibility.

View entitled datasets only

liberator.datasets(entitled=True)
Returns datasets you are individually entitled to (in addition to public datasets, depending on client defaults).

Get dataset details

liberator.datasets(details=True)('daily_bars')
Retrieves a detailed description of a specific dataset. Replace 'daily_bars' with your target dataset name.

View dataset schema

liberator.datasets(schema=True)('daily_bars')
Returns the complete data dictionary and schema for a specific dataset. Replace 'daily_bars' as needed.
Use these commands to explore available data before writing queries. The schema information is especially useful for identifying column names to use with the fields parameter.
