Accessing Online Astronomical Data
==================================
Astroquery is an `astropy <http://www.astropy.org>`_ affiliated package that
contains a collection of tools to access online Astronomical data. Each web
service has its own sub-package. For example, to interface with the `SIMBAD
website <http://simbad.u-strasbg.fr/simbad/>`_, use the ``simbad`` sub-package:
.. code-block:: python
>>> from astroquery.simbad import Simbad
>>> theta1c = Simbad.query_object('tet01 Ori C')
>>> theta1c.pprint()
MAIN_ID RA DEC ... COO_QUAL COO_WAVELENGTH COO_BIBCODE
------------- ------------- ------------- ... -------- -------------- -------------------
* tet01 Ori C 05 35 16.4637 -05 23 22.848 ... A O 2007A&A...474..653V
Installation and Requirements
-----------------------------
Astroquery works with Python 2.7 and 3.3 or later.
As an `astropy`_ affiliate, astroquery requires `astropy`_ version 0.4 or later.
astroquery uses the `requests <http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/>`_
module to communicate with the internet. `BeautifulSoup
<http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/>`_ is needed for HTML parsing
for some services. The `keyring <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/keyring>`_
module is also required for accessing services that require a login.
These can all be installed using `pip <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip>`_.
The latest version of astroquery can be conda installed:
.. code-block:: bash
$ conda install -c astropy astroquery
or pip installed:
.. code-block:: bash
$ pip install astroquery
and the 'bleeding edge' master version:
.. code-block:: bash
$ pip install https://github.com/astropy/astroquery/archive/master.zip
or cloned and installed from source:
.. code-block:: bash
$ # If you have a github account:
$ git clone git@github.com:astropy/astroquery.git
$ # If you do not:
$ git clone https://github.com/astropy/astroquery.git
$ cd astroquery
$ python setup.py install
Using astroquery
----------------
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`.
To report bugs and request features, please use the issue tracker. Code
contributions are very welcome, though we encourage you to follow the `API`_
and `contributing guidelines
<https://github.com/astropy/astroquery/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.rst>`_ as much
as possible.
