Tools
Utilities and external libraries for programmatically accessing AHORN and working with higher-order network data.
Interacting with AHORN
If you want to programmatically interact with AHORN, we provide a JSON file that contains machine-readable data about all datasets in the repository. You can find it at https://ahorn.rwth-aachen.de/api/datasets.json.
For a more convenient experience, we also provide the Python package ahorn-loader for easy access to the AHORN API.
Libraries Integrating with AHORN
These libraries complement AHORN and are useful for analyzing, transforming, and visualizing higher-order network data in practice.
Related Tools in the Ecosystem
These libraries are part of the broader higher-order network ecosystem and can be useful for working with AHORN datasets, even without direct integration.
