grad300-client 0.1.1

Small Python client for the GRAD300 backend API

grad300-client

Small Python package to access the GRAD300 backend API.

Install

From PyPI (once published):

pip install grad300-client

From this repository:

pip install ./clients/grad300-client

Build and Publish (uv)

This project uses uv workspace tooling, so you do not need to add build or twine as package dev dependencies.

Build artifacts for this package:

uv build --package grad300-client -o clients/grad300-client/dist

Publish to TestPyPI first:

export UV_PUBLISH_TOKEN="pypi-..."
uv publish \
    --publish-url https://test.pypi.org/legacy/ \
    --check-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ \
    clients/grad300-client/dist/*

Publish to PyPI:

export UV_PUBLISH_TOKEN="pypi-..."
uv publish --check-url https://pypi.org/simple/ clients/grad300-client/dist/*

Local Compatibility Tests (tox)

Run the client test suite across Python 3.9 to 3.13:

cd clients/grad300-client
python -m pip install tox
tox

If some interpreters are not installed locally, tox will skip them.

GitLab CI Publishing (tags)

The repository CI can publish automatically to PyPI when a tag is pushed.

• Tag format: v0.2 (also supports patch tags like v0.2.1).
• The package version is derived from Git tags via hatch-vcs, so there is no manual version update in pyproject.toml for releases.
• Configure UV_PUBLISH_TOKEN as a protected GitLab CI variable (PyPI token).

Quick start

from datetime import datetime
from grad300_client import Grad300

client = Grad300(user="[e-mail]", password="your-password")

# Simple source query (astroquery-like helper)
tpi_scans = client.query_source("sun", scan_type="TPI")
print(tpi_scans["id", "scan_type", "file_name", "source", "date"])

# Query by scan filename fragment
named_scans = client.query_scan_name("2025062")

# Query by date range
march_scans = client.query_date_range(
    date_from=datetime(2026, 3, 1),
    date_to=datetime(2026, 3, 31, 23, 59, 59),
)

# Download one scan from a table row
if len(tpi_scans) > 0:
    # In-memory return (no destination_dir):
    # - TPI -> astropy.table.Table
    tpi_data = client.download(tpi_scans[0])

    # Save to file when destination_dir is provided
    local_path = client.download(tpi_scans[0], destination_dir="./downloads")
    print(local_path)

# Non-TPI in-memory return is an astropy.io.fits.HDUList
image_hdul = client.download_by_id(scan_type="Images", scan_id=30)
image_hdul.close()

client.close()

Configuration (astropy.config)

grad300-client exposes a global conf object (Astropy-style) for defaults.

from grad300_client import Grad300, conf

with (
    conf.set_temp("base_url", "https://staging.grad300.lam.fr"),
    conf.set_temp("api_prefix", "/api/v1"),
    conf.set_temp("timeout", 60.0),
    conf.set_temp("default_page_size", 200),
):
    client = Grad300(user="[e-mail]", password="your-password")
    scans = client.query_source("sun", scan_type="TPI")
    client.close()

Constructor arguments still override config defaults.

Notes

• The package wraps existing routes under /api/v1.
• list, query_source, query_scan_name, and query_date_range return astropy.table.Table.
• Use list_records and query_records if you prefer typed Python objects (ScanRecord).
• You can authenticate either with token=... or with user=... and password=... in the constructor.
• download, download_by_id, and download_by_scan_name fetch FITS data from scan download endpoints.
• If destination_dir is omitted: TPI returns an astropy.table.Table, other scan types return an astropy.io.fits.HDUList.
• If destination_dir is provided, the FITS file is saved and the returned value is the local Path.
