Q3. What do the data formats JSON,XML,CSV mean?
Dataset

The open data formats provided by this platform are divided into the following types: JSON, XML, and CSV, 3 types in total.
• [JSON], JavaScript Object Notation, is based on plain text. The content of the data includes fields and content of the data, and it has high compatibility. It is a light weight data exchange format favored by program developers in the mobile computing era.
• [XML] eXtensible Markup Language is a markup language. The data contains data content and description data. The data content and attributes can be explained in the form of text, and can be used with XML Schema to verify the data format. It is the most commonly used data format for data exchange in recent years.
• [CSV] Comma Separated Values, is a plain text file that uses commas to separate data. Because the data format is similar to the spreadsheet format of commonly used commercial application software., it can often be seen in statistical reports or two-dimensional data tables.

The new platform has already packaged specific data sets in advance.
Pre-packaged data sets
1. If you click [JSON], [CSV], [XML] buttons to obtain data, the maximum limit of the platform is 10,000 records
2. If you need all the data, please click [Download all data of this data set] button.
3. The pre-packaged data will be in csv format
4.The data that is not pre-packaged doesn’t have limits on the number of records. In order to speed up your download, it is recommended that you can filter the scope of data you want before downloading it.

The platform has provided the "API Download History Data" operation manual, please refer to it. Please download the manual at https://reurl.cc/W3oAzk.
Q8. How can I download historical data?
Operation
2021-11-25
In order to make the platform operate more efficiently and have a more convenient way of downloading, the new platform adopts the "monthly packet" mode for historical data. Users can select according to their own needs and download the required monthly data.

Q9. What is the difference between "="and "Like"in"Open Search Panel"in the data set?
Operation
2021-11-25
Both of them are for filtering again the field value, and "=" means "precise matching"; "Like" means "fuzzy matching" (covering a larger range).
E.g:
If you want to filter "two gasified" again, then if you use "=", but there is no simple "two gasified" phrase in the database, the platform will respond with no data, however, if you replace it with "Like", the platform will respond something like "two gasified sulfur" , "two gasified nitrogen",...
Q10. How to query the data set and use the filter panel?
Operation
2021-11-25
The platform has provided an operation manual of "Query Data Collection and Use Filter Panel", please refer to it, please download the manual at https://reurl.cc/gWoeNV.
