Jp Estat

Japanese government statistics from the e-Stat API: search tables and fetch figures such as population, households, wages, and prices, with estat_search_tables, estat_table_info, and estat_get_data.

Good to know before installing

It needs a free e-Stat application ID, set as ESTAT_APP_ID in the .env of each profile. Each call sends your search words and table selections to api.e-stat.go.jp and puts ESTAT_APP_ID in the request URL. The ID is read for the active profile on each call. An HTTP proxy set in the environment is not used, and no other host is called. Nothing is written to disk, and this plugin creates no cron job. The tools are on for every surface, including gateways, so anyone you allow there can call them with your ID. Turn a surface off with hermes tools. While the plugin is enabled, its skill adds one line to the skills index of every session, including surfaces where the tools are turned off.

From the plugin's catalog listing.

How to install

  1. Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs (this one needs ESTAT_APP_ID), then asks whether to turn it on.
    hermes plugins install jp-estat
  2. Said no? Turn it on later:
    hermes plugins enable jp-estat
  3. Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.

Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see Full setup & settings. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide (opens in a new tab).
