kiwis-pie 0.8.0

Python library for accessing a Kisters WISKI system via the KiWIS API.

Python library for querying WISKI via KiWIS (KISTERS Web Interoperability Solution). See: http://www.kisters.net/NA/products/wiski/options/web-services/

Dependencies

Requires the Python libraries requests, pandas and tabulate.

Installation

Install directly from github:

pip install git+https://github.com/amacd31/kiwis_pie.git

Usage

Example fetching some data from the KiWIS service that backs: http://kna.kisters.net/sjr/kiwidgets/tests/SanJoaquinRiver/

from datetime import date
from kiwis_pie import KIWIS
k = KIWIS('http://kna.kisters.net/grassland/KiWIS')

# Get station ID for 'SAN JOAQUIN RIVER NEAR PATTERSON'
station_id = k.get_station_list(station_name = 'SAN JOAQUIN RIVER NEAR PATTERSON').station_id.values[0]

# Get timeseries ID for 3-Hourly streamflow (Q) at SAN JOAQUIN RIVER NEAR PATTERSON
ts_id = k.get_timeseries_list(station_id = station_id, parametertype_name = 'Q', ts_name = '3-Hourly').ts_id.values[0]

# Read one day of 3-Hourly flow data for SAN JOAQUIN RIVER NEAR PATTERSON
k.get_timeseries_values(ts_id = ts_id, to = date(2016,1,1), **{'from': date(2016,1,1)})

Example using the KiWIS service that backs the Australian Bureau of Meteorology’s Water Data Online service: http://www.bom.gov.au/waterdata/

from datetime import date
from kiwis_pie import KIWIS
k = KIWIS('http://www.bom.gov.au/waterdata/services')

# Get station ID for 'Cotter River at Gingera'
station_id = k.get_station_list(station_name = 'Cotter R. at Gingera').station_id.values[0]

# Get timeseries ID for daily mean streamflow (Q) at Cotter River at Gingera
ts_id = k.get_timeseries_list(station_id = station_id, ts_name = 'DMQaQc.Merged.DailyMean.24HR', parametertype_name = 'Water Course Discharge').ts_id.values[0]

# Read 31 days of daily water course discharge data for Cotter River at Gingera
k.get_timeseries_values(ts_id = ts_id, to = date(2016,1,31), **{'from': date(2016,1,1)})
