EngdbMast

class jwst.lib.engdb_mast.EngdbMast(base_url=None, token=None, **service_kwargs)

Bases: EngdbABC

Access the JWST Engineering Database through MAST

Parameters:

• base_url (str) – The base url for the engineering RESTful service. If not defined, the environmental variable ENG_BASE_URL is queried. Otherwise the default MAST website is used.

• token (str or None) – The MAST access token. If not defined, the environmental variable MAST_API_TOKEN is queried. A token is required. For more information, see ‘https://auth.mast.stsci.edu/’

• service_kwargs (dict) – Service-specific keyword arguments that are not relevant to this implementation of EngdbABC.

Raises:

RuntimeError – Any and all failures with connecting with the MAST server.

response	The results of the last query.
retries	Number of retries to attempt to contact the service
starttime	The start time of the last query.
timeout	Network timeout when communicating with the service

Methods Summary

cache(mnemonics, starttime, endtime, cache_path)	Cache results for the list of mnemonics
cache_as_local(mnemonics, starttime, ...)	Cache results for the list of mnemonics, but in the EngdbLocal format

Methods Documentation

cache(mnemonics, starttime, endtime, cache_path)

Cache results for the list of mnemonics

Parameters:

• mnemonics (iterable) – List of mnemonics to retrieve

• starttime (str or astropy.time.Time) – The, inclusive, start time to retrieve from.

• endtime (str or astropy.time.Time) – The, inclusive, end time to retrieve from.

• cache_path (str or Path-like) – Path of the cache directory.

cache_as_local(mnemonics, starttime, endtime, cache_path)

Cache results for the list of mnemonics, but in the EngdbLocal format

The target format is native to what the EngdbDirect service provides.

Parameters:

• mnemonics (iterable) – List of mnemonics to retrieve

• starttime (str or astropy.time.Time) – The, inclusive, start time to retrieve from.

• endtime (str or astropy.time.Time) – The, inclusive, end time to retrieve from.

• cache_path (str or Path-like) – Path of the cache directory.

configure(base_url=None, token=None)

Configure from parameters and environment

Parameters:

• base_url (str) – The base url for the engineering RESTful service. If not defined, the environmental variable ENG_BASE_URL is queried. Otherwise the default MAST website is used.

• token (str or None) – The MAST access token. If not defined, the environmental variable MAST_API_TOKEN is queried. A token is required. For more information, see ‘https://auth.mast.stsci.edu/’

get_meta(*kwargs)

Get the mnemonics meta info

The MAST interface does not provide any meta.

get_values(mnemonic, starttime, endtime, time_format=None, include_obstime=False, include_bracket_values=False, zip_results=True)

Retrieve all results for a mnemonic in the requested time range.

Parameters:

• mnemonic (str) – The engineering mnemonic to retrieve

• starttime (str or astropy.time.Time) – The, inclusive, start time to retrieve from.

• endtime (str or astropy.time.Time) – The, inclusive, end time to retrieve from.

• time_format (str) – The format of the input time used if the input times are strings. If None, a guess is made.

• include_obstime (bool) – If True, the return values will include observation time as astropy.time.Time. See zip_results for further details.

• include_bracket_values (bool) – The DB service, by default, returns the bracketing values outside of the requested time. If True, include these values.

• zip_results (bool) – If True and include_obstime is True, the return values will be a list of 2-tuples. If false, the return will be a single 2-tuple, where each element is a list.

Returns:

values – Returns the list of values. See include_obstime and zip for modifications.

Return type:

[value, …] or [(obstime, value), …] or ([obstime,…], [value, …])

set_session()

Setup HTTP session
