Programmatic download of human ISH - issues with allensdk

Hello @SvenOtto @racheld @tylermo

I am planning a study that uses a large amount of ISH data from the human database and was wondering how I could retrieve that data programmatically (autism study). I know there’s a python notebook but the allensdk doesn’t seem to work on my computer (MacBook Pro M3Pro Apple Silicon Chip running MacOS Sonoma). I tried

pip install allensdk
and I get the following error message :

Here is the link to the jupyter notebook I am trying to run : image_download

I am trying to run my jupyter notebook through anaconda navigator + jupyter version 7.4.4. The version of python is python 3 (ipykernel)

Because I know I can retrieve section dataset images, if I provide the ID number for an ISH experiment like the one for NEFL I should be able to retrieve those.

Not sure why it’s not working, but any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
