This Google Summer of Code project aimed to enhance the PyOBIS Python client and demonstrate its utility through real-world marine biodiversity analysis. I implemented a caching mechanism in PyOBIS to improve performance and efficiency, along with updating documentation and tests to support the new feature. To support broader usage, I also developed generalized functions for fetching and preparing OBIS data.
