hydroserverpy 1.5.0b1

A Python client for managing HydroServer data

HydroServer Python Client

The hydroserverpy Python package provides an interface for managing HydroServer data and metadata, loading observations, and performing data quality control. This guide will go over how to install the package and connect to a HydroServer instance. Full hydroserverpy documentation and examples can be found here.

Installation

You can install the package via pip:

pip install hydroserverpy

Connecting to HydroServer

To connect to HydroServer, you need to initialize the client with the instance of HydroServer you're using and your user credentials if you want to access and modify your own data. If you don't provide authentication credentials you can read public data, but you will not be able to create or modify any data.

Example: Anonymous User

from hydroserverpy import HydroServer

# Initialize HydroServer connection.
hs_api = HydroServer(
    host='https://playground.hydroserver.org'
)

Example: Basic Authentication

from hydroserverpy import HydroServer

# Initialize HydroServer connection with credentials.
hs_api = HydroServer(
    host='https://playground.hydroserver.org',
    email='[e-mail]',
    password='******'
)
