hdpws 0.4.2

Synopsis

This library provides a simple python interface to NASA's Heliophysics Data Portal (HDP). This library implements the client side of the HDP RESTful web services. For more general details about the HDP web services, see https://heliophysicsdata.gsfc.nasa.gov/WebServices/.

Code Example

This package contains example code calling most of the available web services. To run the included example, do the following

python -m hdpws

This Jupyter notebook page contains an example to help someone begin using the hdpws library to access information from the Heliophysics Data Portal in a Python program.

Also, the following Jupyter notebooks demonstrate different features of the library:

1. Simple Query Example (ipynb file)demonstrating a simple query.

These notebooks will eventually be available on Binder.
