Description of Improvement

Update the API bindings such that you can construct a filtered query similar to that which can be done via the API website UI:

No response

Technical Notes

Currently the way to filter/query data coming from the API is to load it all and then use pandas:

from seshat_api.core import Polities
polities = Polities(client)
polities_df = pd.DataFrame(polities.get_all())
# then filter with pandas

Building a way to do a specific query is probably only worth it if it's a simple job. Loading the entire polities table to a dataframe with the code above only takes ~15s on my 10Mb home internet connection, so this way is already practical.

Definition of Done

• The feature has been developed on a feature branch.
• A pull request has been created for the feature branch to be merged into the main branch.
