Abstract
Gain seamless access to origin-destination (OD) data from the Spanish Ministry of Transport, hosted at https://www.transportes.gob.es/ministerio/proyectos-singulares/estudios-de-movilidad-con-big-data/opendata-movilidad. This package simplifies the management of these large datasets by providing tools to download zone boundaries, handle associated origin-destination data, and process it efficiently with the 'duckdb' database interface. Local caching minimizes repeated downloads, streamlining workflows for researchers and analysts. Extensive documentation is available at https://ropenspain.github.io/spanishoddata/index.html, offering guides on creating static and dynamic mobility flow visualizations and transforming large datasets into analysis-ready formats.
