datapi 0.1.0

ESEE Data Stores API Python Client

datapi

ECMWF Software EnginE (ESEE) Data Stores API Python Client.

Technical documentation: https://ecmwf-projects.github.io/datapi/

Configuration

The ApiClient requires the url to the API root and a valid API key. You can also set the DATAPI_URL and DATAPI_KEY environment variables, or use a configuration file. The configuration file must be located at ~/.datapirc, or at the path specified by the DATAPI_RC environment variable.

$ cat $HOME/.datapirc
url: https://cds.climate.copernicus.eu/api
key: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

It is possible (though not recommended) to use the API key of one of the test users:

00112233-4455-6677-c899-aabbccddeeff

This key is used for anonymous tests and is designed to be the least performant option for accessing the system.

Quick Start

Configure the logging level to display INFO messages:

>>> import logging
>>> logging.basicConfig(level="INFO")

Instantiate the API client and verify the authentication:

>>> import os
>>> from datapi import ApiClient
>>> client = ApiClient(
...     url=os.getenv("DATAPI_URL"),
...     key=os.getenv("DATAPI_KEY"),
... )
>>> client.check_authentication()
{...}

Explore a collection:

>>> collection_id = "reanalysis-era5-pressure-levels"
>>> collection = client.get_collection(collection_id)
>>> collection.end_datetime
datetime.datetime(...)

>>> request = {
...     "product_type": "reanalysis",
...     "variable": "temperature",
...     "year": "2022",
...     "month": "01",
...     "day": "01",
...     "pressure_level": "1000",
...     "time": "00:00",
... }
>>> collection.process.apply_constraints(**request)
{...}

Retrieve data:

>>> client.retrieve(collection_id, target="tmp1-era5.grib", **request)  # blocks
'tmp1-era5.grib'

>>> remote = client.submit(collection_id, **request)  # doesn't block
>>> remote.request_uid
'...'
>>> remote.status
'...'
>>> remote.download("tmp2-era5.grib")  # blocks
'tmp2-era5.grib'

Interact with a previously submitted job:

>>> remote = client.get_remote(remote.request_uid)
>>> remote.delete()
{...}

Workflow for developers/contributors

For best experience create a new conda environment (e.g. DEVELOP) with Python 3.11:

conda create -n DEVELOP -c conda-forge python=3.11
conda activate DEVELOP

Before pushing to GitHub, run the following commands:

1. Update conda environment: make conda-env-update
2. Install this package: pip install -e .
3. Sync with the latest template (optional): make template-update
4. Run quality assurance checks: make qa
5. Run tests: make unit-tests
6. Run the static type checker: make type-check
7. Build the documentation (see Sphinx tutorial): make docs-build
