🚀 Query It All With the Katzilla SDK

All datasets are immediately accessible via the Katzilla unified API. Here's how to pull the FY 2026 veteran era distribution in seconds:

from katzilla import KatzillaClient

client = KatzillaClient(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")

# Fetch Distribution of Veterans by Era of Service: FY 2026
result = client.datasets.query(
    dataset_id="va-veterans-era-service-fy2026",
    limit=50
)

for record in result.data:
    print(record["era_of_service"], record["veteran_count"])

Swap in any dataset ID from your Katzilla dashboard — the interface stays identical regardless of the underlying source.
