from @flohrreija-oeko:
Some general comments on all oepclient tutorials:

I would suggest to the add the feedback link to this issue both at the beginning and in the about section of the tutorial (
The code did not work (understandably) until i was a member of the OEP group in GitHub, it could be added as a requirement for clarity

Comments on 01_client_python_download.ipynb

It also (see first comment of the issue) took me some time to understand that "tutorial_example_table" is an already existing table in model_draft - either a hint on this in the comments of the code or e.g. a codeline to get the url where the table is located (also to verify if everything worked) would be great!

Comments on 02_client_python_upload.ipynb

Here as well (again as first comment) I think it is super important to be able to access the URL of the created table to verify while doing the tutorial.

If I understand correctly in Section "upload data" we use an existing dataset in the OEP (in this case "tutorial_example_table) to upload data into the table we just created - normally the data to be uploaded would not come from an existing dataset in the OEP but from e.g. an Excel or textfile. I think it should be clarified how to upload the data from there as well using the OEPClient (either through linking to section 2.1.2 of the Beginners Guide or by including a similar example code in the OEP Client tutorial 02).

No, not really. this table is for the download tutorial. for the upload tutorial, the user creates a new table in the sandbox.

No, the data comes from a static file from the academy website, not from a table on the oep
