The Humanitarian Data Exchange (HDX) platform provides a simple and convenient graphical interface to enable users to examine and add datasets, but what if you want to write a computer program that can do this? What if you wish to bring together multiple datasets from several organisations and perform sophisticated processing upon them?

Now you can! HDX has a new library which allows coders, professional or amateur, to interact with the HDX platform through a straightforward programming interface.
