Importing astroquery on its own doesn't get you much: you need to import each
sub-module specifically. Check out the `docs`_
to find a list of the tools available. The `API`_
shows the standard suite of tools common to most modules, e.g. `query_object`
and `query_region`.

The `API`_ shows the standard suite of tools common to most modules, e.g.

To report bugs and request features, please use the issue tracker. Code
