Convert Pandas Series to Dataframe or run query on series data?

RexRobichaux — Sun, 12 Dec 2021 09:47:43 GMT

Hello Python Gurus-

I've been doing some experimental design work for a recurring script which aims to pull in hourly json values for air quality monitoring stations from PurpleAir.com, parse the values in a field (PM2_5Value), and then if values exceed a certain threshold (let's say 40 for testing), send smtp email notifications to staff for awareness.

I've been using Jupyter Notebooks and have been able to pull in the json values for all stations, parse the json into a series to show the json results (fields of interest) but have hit a mental block. It seems like while it's in series format, I can't perform sorting / querying of records. I'm unsure if this is by design, bug, or error on my part but DataFrame.sort_values fails, as does just df ['PM2_5Value'] > 40.

I'm, guessing there is something obvious here I'm missing- is there an easier way to approach this, or turn this series table into a proper dataframe so that I can work with the data easier? If I attempt to search for values in the current series (which is probably my problem), I receive the following KeyError:

KeyError                                  Traceback (most recent call last)C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3\lib\site-packages\pandas\core\indexes\base.py in get_loc(self, key, method, tolerance)   2656             try:-> 2657                 return self._engine.get_loc(key)   2658             except KeyError:pandas/_libs/index.pyx in pandas._libs.index.IndexEngine.get_loc()pandas/_libs/index.pyx in pandas._libs.index.IndexEngine.get_loc()pandas/_libs/hashtable_class_helper.pxi in pandas._libs.hashtable.PyObjectHashTable.get_item()pandas/_libs/hashtable_class_helper.pxi in pandas._libs.hashtable.PyObjectHashTable.get_item()KeyError: 'PM2_5Value'

Here's the code so far and the series it produces in Jupyter:

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
from requests import request
import json
from pandas.io.json import json_normalize 


df = pd.read_json('https://www.purpleair.com/json?show=39183|31221|31179|31185|2827|12785|35779|15947|46911|3095|35885|10286|33089|38627|34099|27405|21109|27825|34579|34109|27401|21111|27873|34747|26961|38253|34153|27807|27833|27863|22355|9930|2221|8244|8248|4427|2944|2514|15019|28651|47173|25361|36607|37575|4591|6612|36139|30739|5512|3157|34933|38835|48625|34951|2239|12016|34803|14687|26249|35693|36965|34847|34797|44553|39593|46293|48047|30169')
df.results.apply(pd.Series)

Re: Convert Pandas Series to Dataframe or run query on series data?

GeoJosh — Sun, 12 Dec 2021 16:57:50 GMT

Hey Rex,

I'd first use the requests module to get the json response, then load it as a dictionary. From there, you can use panda's from_dict function to create the DataFrame from the series. Something like this:

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import requests
import json

r = requests.get('https://www.purpleair.com/json?show=39183|31221|31179|31185|2827|12785|35779|15947|46911|3095|35885|10286|33089|38627|34099|27405|21109|27825|34579|34109|27401|21111|27873|34747|26961|38253|34153|27807|27833|27863|22355|9930|2221|8244|8248|4427|2944|2514|15019|28651|47173|25361|36607|37575|4591|6612|36139|30739|5512|3157|34933|38835|48625|34951|2239|12016|34803|14687|26249|35693|36965|34847|34797|44553|39593|46293|48047|30169')

dictionary = json.loads(r.text)
results = dictionary["results"]

df = pd.read_json(df.results.to_json(), orient='index')

Now the data is a DataFrame, as opposed to a Series. Hope this helps!

Best,

Josh

Edit: Modified the last line of code to reflect @joshua Bixby's suggestion. Thanks a lot!

You can replace your last line with:

df = pd.read_json(df.results.to_json(), orient='index')

Hello and a huge thank you to you both @Joshua Herman and @Joshua Bixby. From quick testing it looks like this is exactly what I needed. I've been swamped this week but will follow-up as soon as I can dig into this script a little more. Thanks again for the help!

Re: Convert Pandas Series to Dataframe or run query on series data?

RexRobichaux — Sun, 12 Dec 2021 09:47:46 GMT

Thanks again for the assistance with this script all! I have it to a point to where it's working for some bare-bones functionality. At this point, it's is searching for any values exceeding a threshold, and if any records exist above that set threshold, it will fire off an email with the count of records in a pre-scripted message to recipients to notify them.

I was wondering if it's difficult to embed the dataframe results (only the offending stations if they exists) into the email body or as an html attachment? I found a few methods to convert either a dataframe to html (https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/generated/pandas.DataFrame.to_html.html )

but am having issues getting it to embed properly into the body of the email as described here. I normally just end up with {None} getting embedded which indicates to me that it's not properly pulling in my offending values from the dataframe. The current, clean / working version of the code is below which should trigger if any records return values of 2.5 ATM values over 15 (this is easy to change in the script for testing). Any thoughts of an easy way to get additional data (Station Name / ID, etc.) added to the email notification?

Thanks again everyone. The help is much appreciated!

Sometimes... a little sleep and fresh eyes is all it takes to have an obvious "ah-ha" moment. Turns out dataframe content can be inserted into an email text by simply passing in the variable for the dataframe you want to include. Duh... and it doesn't look great- but not terrible either. Final script is:
