CADS API Python client
Project description
cads-api-client
CADS API Python client
Technical documentation: https://ecmwf-projects.github.io/cads-api-client/
Configuration
The ApiClient
requires the url
to the API root and a valid API key
. You can also set the CADS_API_URL
and CADS_API_KEY
environment variables, or use a configuration file. The configuration file must be located at ~/.cads-api-client.json
, or at the path specified by the CADS_API_RC
environment variable.
$ cat $HOME/.cads-api-client.json
{"url": "https://cds.climate.copernicus.eu/api", "key": "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"}
It is possible (though not recommended) to use the API key of one of the test users:
00112233-4455-6677-c899-aabbccddeeff
This key is used for anonymous tests and is designed to be the least performant option for accessing the system.
Quick Start
Configure the logging level to display INFO messages:
>>> import logging
>>> logging.basicConfig(level="INFO")
Instantiate the API client and verify the authentication:
>>> import os
>>> from cads_api_client import ApiClient
>>> client = ApiClient(
... url=os.getenv("CADS_API_URL"),
... key=os.getenv("CADS_API_KEY"),
... )
>>> client.check_authentication()
{...}
Explore a collection:
>>> collection_id = "reanalysis-era5-pressure-levels"
>>> collection = client.get_collection(collection_id)
>>> collection.end_datetime
datetime.datetime(...)
>>> request = {
... "product_type": "reanalysis",
... "variable": "temperature",
... "year": "2022",
... "month": "01",
... "day": "01",
... "pressure_level": "1000",
... "time": "00:00",
... }
>>> collection.process.apply_constraints(**request)
{...}
Retrieve data:
>>> client.retrieve(collection_id, target="tmp1-era5.grib", **request) # blocks
'tmp1-era5.grib'
>>> remote = client.submit(collection_id, **request) # doesn't block
>>> remote.request_uid
'...'
>>> remote.status
'...'
>>> remote.download("tmp2-era5.grib") # blocks
'tmp2-era5.grib'
Interact with a previously submitted job:
>>> remote = client.get_remote(remote.request_uid)
>>> remote.delete()
{...}
Workflow for developers/contributors
For best experience create a new conda environment (e.g. DEVELOP) with Python 3.11:
conda create -n DEVELOP -c conda-forge python=3.11
conda activate DEVELOP
Before pushing to GitHub, run the following commands:
- Update conda environment:
make conda-env-update
- Install this package:
pip install -e .
- Sync with the latest template (optional):
make template-update
- Run quality assurance checks:
make qa
- Run tests:
make unit-tests
- Run the static type checker:
make type-check
- Build the documentation (see Sphinx tutorial):
make docs-build
