OBISdat 1.3

No project description provided

OBISdat

Features:

• get up-to-date information from OBIS database
• Terminal-based scripts

Software requierements:

• Python 3

Installation

By using pip:

pip install OBISdat

Using git (Optional):

git clone https://github.com/Ulises-Rosas/OBISdat.git
cd OBISdat
python3 setup.py install

Usage within the terminal

The way this executable is used match up with this structure:

obis.py [path] [parameters]

Paths that OBIS API accepts are stated at [path] position. It has been tested the following paths so far:

• country
• area
• institute
• checklist
• checklist/redlist
• checklist/newest
• occurrence

Each outcome from paths can be modified by adding constraining parameters at [parameters] position. Paramenters available are:

• --taxa (e.g. Elasmobranchii Reptilia)
• --of (e.g. Peru Colombia)
• --areaid
• --datasetid
• --instituteid
• --nodeid
• --startdate
• --enddate
• --startdepth
• --enddepth
• --geometry

Only both --taxa and --of options accept more than one value. While whole output filenames are named in function to the path used, these can also be defined with --out option.

Examples

When we use either country, institute or area paths, --of option is coupled in order to match requested strings:

obis.py institute --of 'Smithsonian Institution'

id	name	parent	children	records
7553	National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution	{'id': 17611, 'name': 'Smithsonian Institution'}	None	638317
19436	Tennenbaum Marine Observatories Network	{'id': 17611, 'name': 'Smithsonian Institution'}	None	1135
17611	Smithsonian Institution	None	[{'id': 19436, 'name': 'Tennenbaum Marine Observatories Network'}, {'id': 7553, 'name': 'National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution'}]	1056

obis.py area --of Peru Colombia

id	name	type
190	Peru	obis
10198	Peru Upwelling Cores	ebsa
10199	PeruvianHCSUpwelling	ebsa
41	Colombia	obis
127	Joint Regime: Colombia - Jamaica	obis

Above examples output were named obis_institute.tsv and obis_area.tsv correspondingly. We can also retrieve data by using any geographical id from above results. On the following example, the Peruvian areaid (i.e. 190) is used to look for taxa within both checklist/redlist and occurrence paths:

obis.py checklist/redlist --areaid 190 --taxa Reptilia Mammalia

From above examples both would be named equal (i.e. obis_area.tsv). For that reason, --out option might be handy on these cases. Specific geographic area can be introduced in WKT format by using --geometry option. In the following example, we will use coordenates obtained from the OBIS Mapper online app in order to get species occurrence from a tiny area of Equatorial Guinea and Gabon:

obis.py occurrence --geometry 'POLYGON ((9.6034 1.5839, 9.3501 1.1679, 9.1873 1.4555, 9.3027 1.6134, 9.6034 1.5839))'

Usage within python3

The way it is used inside python3 is pretty the same from the console:

# import class
from OBISdat.core_obis import Obis

# set parameters as a dict
query =  { 
    'scientificname': ['Reptilia', 'Mammalia'],
    'areaid': '190',
    'size': 5000
}

# get results in a list
Obis(path =  'checklist', opts = query).dataRetriever()

# get results from paths such as country, area or institute
Obis(path =  'area').geographics(of = ['Peru'])
