This tool was created to automate waveform and station data download. Please cite appropriate authorities if you are using the data for non-commercial purposes. Commercial use of the data without permission is forbidden. Please read the printed warnings from the data centers printed out.

Installation

pip install numpy
pip install afdcli

Station Data

get_stations(network, station, starttime, endtime, **kwargs)

Arguments:

network: Network code, wildcards allowed ("T?", "*")

station: Station code, wildcards allowed ("B?ZM", "B*")

starttime: start time string in ISO format at UTC ("2020-03-27T06:00:13Z")

endtime: start time string in ISO format at UTC ("2020-03-28T06:00:13Z")

Parameters:

attach_response: Returns instrument response

minlatitude, maxlatitude, minlongitude, maxlongitude: Window of coordinates of stations

Waveform Data

get_waveforms(network, station, starttime, endtime, **kwargs)

Arguments:

network: Network code, wildcards allowed ("T?", "*")

station: Station code, wildcards allowed ("B?ZM", "B*")

starttime: start time string in ISO format at UTC ("2020-03-27T06:00:13Z")

endtime: start time string in ISO format at UTC ("2020-03-28T06:00:13Z")

Parameters:

minlatitude, maxlatitude, minlongitude, maxlongitude: Window of coordinates of stations

data_format: "mseed" for miniseed or "fseed" for fullseed formats

filename: filename to save the file (not implemented)

Examples

downloading waveforms:

from afdcli.client import Client
c = Client()
c.get_waveforms('*','BO*', '2020-06-25T17:19:16Z', '2020-06-26T17:20:16Z')

downloading stations with instrument response

from afdcli.client import Client
c = Client()
c.get_stations('*','BO*', '2020-06-25T17:19:16Z', '2020-06-26T17:20:16Z', instrument_response=True)
