Methods Documentation

download_files(urls, savedir='')

Download a series of files

Parameters:

urls: list of strings

The list of URLs of the files to be downloaded.

savedir: str, optional

The directory in which to save the files.

Returns:

A list of the full filenames of the downloaded files.

filter_out_unreleased(table)

Return a subset of the table which only includes released (public) data.

Parameters:

table: `astropy.table.Table`

A table of results as returned by query_region. Must include an obs_release_date column.

Returns:

tableastropy.table.Table

The table with all unreleased (non public) data products filtered out.

query_region(*args, **kwargs)

Queries the service and returns a table object.

Queries a region around the specified coordinates. Either a radius or both a height and a width must be provided.

Parameters:

coordinatesstr or astropy.coordinates.

coordinates around which to query

radiusstr or astropy.units.Quantity.

the radius of the cone search

widthstr or astropy.units.Quantity

the width for a box region

heightstr or astropy.units.Quantity

the height for a box region

get_query_payloadbool, optional

Just return the dict of HTTP request parameters.

cache: bool, optional

Use the astroquery internal query result cache

Returns:

tableA Table object.

query_region_async(coordinates, radius=None, height=None, width=None, get_query_payload=False, cache=True)

Queries a region around the specified coordinates. Either a radius or both a height and a width must be provided.

Parameters:

coordinatesstr or astropy.coordinates.

coordinates around which to query

radiusstr or astropy.units.Quantity.

the radius of the cone search

widthstr or astropy.units.Quantity

the width for a box region

heightstr or astropy.units.Quantity

the height for a box region

get_query_payloadbool, optional

Just return the dict of HTTP request parameters.

cache: bool, optional

Use the astroquery internal query result cache

Returns:

responserequests.Response

The HTTP response returned from the service. All async methods should return the raw HTTP response.

stage_data(table, verbose=False)

Request access to a set of data files. All requests for data must use authentication. If you have access to the data, the requested files will be brought online and a set of URLs to download the files will be returned.

Parameters:

table: `astropy.table.Table`

A table describing the files to be staged, such as produced by query_region. It must include an access_url column.

verbose: bool, optional

Should status message be logged periodically, defaults to False

Returns:

A list of urls of both the requested files and the checksums for the files
