Installation

From PyPi:

pip install jwedb

Example usage

For complete functionality and in particular to retrieve mnemonic values, a valid MAST token has to be provided. Please visit https://auth.mast.stsci.edu/info to generate a token.

One way to store it locally is using .netrc file in the local home directory. If the MAST token is stored in the following format within .netrc, the code below will work:

machine mast
    login <username>
    password <token>

Code:

import netrc
from astropy.time import Time
from jwedb.edb_interface import query_single_mnemonic

# get MAST token from the .netrc file in the home directory
host = 'mast'
secrets = netrc.netrc()
mast_token = secrets.authenticators(host)[2]

mnemonic_identifier = 'SA_ZFGOUTFOV'
start_time = Time(2018.0, format='decimalyear')
end_time = Time(2018.1, format='decimalyear')

data, meta, info = query_single_mnemonic(mnemonic_identifier, start_time, end_time,
                                         token=mast_token)

data.pprint()
