NASA's Satellite Situation Center Web Service Client Library
Project description
Synopsis
This library provides a simple python interface to NASA's Satellite Situation Center (SSC). This library implements the client side of the SSC RESTful web services and can return data in the SpacePy data model. For more general details about the SSC web services, see https://sscweb.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/WebServices/REST/.
Code Example
This package contains example code calling most of the available web services. To run the included example, do the following
python -m sscws
The following code demonstrates ....
from sscws import SscWs
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
ssc = SscWs()
data = ssc....
Motivation
This library hides the HTTP, JSON/XML, and CDF details of the SSC web services. A python developer only has to deal with python objects and methods (primarily the SpacePy data model object).
Dependencies
??? Accept for common, fundamental depenencies like requests, the primary dependency is SpacePy. And SpacePy is only required if you call the get_data method that returns the data in the SpacePy data model. Refer to the SpacePy documentation for the details of SpacePy's dependencies. In particular, SpacePy's data model import capability is dependent upon CDF which is not (at the time of this writing) automatically installed with SpacePy.
Installation
As noted in the dependencies above, if you intend to call the get_data method, you must install SpacePy and the CDF library (following the procedures at the SpacePy and CDF web sites).
Then, to install this package
$ pip install -U sscws
API Reference
Refer to sscws package API reference
or use the standard python help mechanism.
from sscws import SscWs
help(SscWs)
Tests
The tests directory contains unittest tests.
