NDP-EP Tutorials

A comprehensive library of tutorials and demos for the National Data Platform - EndPoint (NDP-EP).

Overview

NDP-EP is a data management platform that enables researchers and developers to work with datasets, streaming data, and cloud resources through a unified interface. This repository provides hands-on tutorials covering all aspects of the platform.

What is NDP-EP?

NDP-EP consists of three main components:

• REST API: Backend service for managing datasets, organizations, resources (S3, Kafka topics, URLs), and services across CKAN environments
• Python Library (ndp-ep): A Python client providing a simplified interface for API interactions
• Frontend (ep-frontend): React-based administrative console for managing NDP-EP instances
