Tools and techniques that are mostly useful in the context of Observable.

Observable Things

Where's the data come from? Web crawl? API? Personal obsession?

Mark McClure

The data was obtained from the route "https://api.observablehq.com/documents/public?page=N", using the API bridge helper: https://observablehq.com/@mootari/api-bridge-getting-started

I've added a concrete example to the end of the getting-started notebook.

Dammit, I had forgotten to add "fork_of", one of the most relevant pieces of information. Attached an updated dump.

I just attached a new dump that includes a few more data points, like publish_version and collection_count. Also updated mapEntry() in the linked notebook to list all available fields.

Attached a new snapshot spanning 3000 notebooks (100 pages). This is the maximum number that is made available at /recent by Observable. Switched to CSV to reduce file size.

This is great information. Thanks for creating this notebook with examples.

My pleasure! Please let me know if you create something cool from the data! :D
