# DBnomics toolbox

[`dbnomics-toolbox`](https://pypi.org/project/dbnomics-toolbox) is a Python library easing the development of DBnomics fetchers.

[`dbnomics`](https://db.nomics.world/) is a database of macro-economic data aggregated from a great number of world-wide providers (see the [complete list](https://db.nomics.world/providers)).

Its usage is free of charge, its source code is licensed under the GNU Affero GPL v3+, and data is redistributed freely under the same conditions as the original providers.

In DBnomics, data acquisition is done by *fetchers*, Python programs that download data from the infrastructure of a provider, and convert it to the DBnomics data model.
Each fetcher corresponds one data provider.
Fetchers are scheduled on a regular basis in order to keep DBnomics data up to date.
