SpaceTrackTool
==============

.. highlight:: python

A Python API for making queries to space-track.org_. To install::

$ pip install spacetracktool

To use, first get a username and password for space-track.org_, then create a
query of the desired class. For example, to create a TLE query::

>> import spacetracktool as st
>> query = st.SpaceTrackClient(username, password)
>> query.tle_query(norad_cat_id=12345) # look for a specific satellite ID
>> result = query.submit() # submit to space-track.org and return the result

To create a slightly more complicated query, using ranges for some arguments::

>> import spacetracktool as st
>> import spacetracktool.operations as ops
>> query = st.SpaceTrackClient(username, password)
>> date_range = ops.make_range_string('2018-01-01', '2018-01-31')
>> query.tle_query(epoch=date_range)
>> result = query.submit()
