Mastering Geospatial Analysis with Python

Creating the dataset

The first step is to create a dataset, if you haven't created it already. This code generates an empty dataset in the account, which will have a name and description as provided to the datasets.create method:

from mapbox import Datasetsimport jsondatasets = Datasets(access_token={secrettoken})create_resp = datasets.create(name="Bay Area Zips",               description = "ZTCA zones for the Bay Area")
