altair.datasets.load

altair.datasets.load = _Load[polars]

Get a remote dataset and load as tabular data.

This is an expert interface. For most users, the data object interface is recommended:

from altair.datasets import data
cars = data.cars(engine="polars")

For full <kbd>Tab</kbd> completions, instead use:

from altair.datasets import Loader
load = Loader.from_backend("polars")
cars = load("cars")
movies = load("movies")

Alternatively, specify backend during a call:

from altair.datasets import load
cars = load("cars", backend="polars")
movies = load("movies", backend="polars")
