Finding observations

>>> from panoptes.data.search import search_observations
>>> from panoptes.data.observations import ObservationInfo

>>> # Find some observations
>>> results = search_observations(by_name='M42')

>>> # Use last result entry to create ObservationInfo object.
>>> obs_info = ObservationInfo(meta=results.iloc[0])
>>> obs_info.meta

>>> # Create an ObservationInfo object directly from a sequence_id.
>>> obs_info = ObservationInfo('PAN001_14d3bd_20180113T052325')
>>> # But then there is no metadata:
>>> obs_info.meta

{}

Downloading images

The ObservationInfo object makes it easy to download the files:

>>> obs_info.download_images()

Command-line tools

There is a simple command line tool that allows for downloading of images and metadata given a valid sequence_id.

panoptes-data download --sequence_id PAN001_14d3bd_20180113T052325 --output-dir 'temp_dir'
