dapi 0.2.0

dapi simplifies accessing TAPIS on DesignSafe

DesignSafe API (dapi)

dapi is a library that simplifies the process of submitting, running, and monitoring TAPIS v2 / AgavePy jobs on DesignSafe via Jupyter Notebooks.

Features

Jobs

• Simplified TAPIS v2 Calls: No need to fiddle with complex API requests. dapi abstracts away the complexities.

• Seamless Integration with DesignSafe Jupyter Notebooks: Launch DesignSafe applications directly from the Jupyter environment.

Database

Connects to SQL databases on DesignSafe:

Database	dbname	env_prefix
NGL	ngl	NGL_
Earthake Recovery	eq	EQ_
Vp	vp	VP_

Define the following environment variables:

{env_prefix}DB_USER
{env_prefix}DB_PASSWORD
{env_prefix}DB_HOST
{env_prefix}DB_PORT

For e.g., to add the environment variable NGL_DB_USER edit ~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, or a similar shell-specific configuration file for the current user and add export NGL_DB_USER="dspublic".
