How to get all ports in a country?

BSP_Richel_Panopio

I'm exploring the notebook examples provided in the CODEBK. In get_vessels_info.ipynb , there is this following code, which retrieves information on vessels entering a specific port:

for i in range(0, len(vessels_imo), batch_size):

temp = ld.get_data(vessels_imo[i:i+batch_size ["TR.AssetName;TR.AssetPolygonName;TR.AssetEventType;TR.AssetFacilityType;TR.AssetLocationType;TR.AssetDateTime, TR.AssetLocationDraught"],

{'SDate': from_date , 'EDate': today_date ,'ZT':'P', 'LT':'ENTRY'})

temp = temp[temp['Polygon Name'].isin(port_list)]

vessels_positions = pd.concat([vessels_positions,temp])

where port_list is a list of ports (in the example notebook, the default is set to Rotterdam).

My question is, how can I get all available port names for a specific country (e.g., the Philippines)? I'm doing this manually through trial and error, testing different port names to see if they work.

Thank you.

Typically, you can use the Search API to search for items. For example:

ld.discovery.search(

    view = ld.discovery.Views.PHYSICAL_ASSETS,

    top = 10000,

    filter = "( RCSAssetTypeLeaf eq 'Port' and RCSRegionLeaf eq 'Philippines')"

)

The output looks like this:
