Description:

sscws 2.4.1

Synopsis
This library provides a simple python interface to
NASA's Satellite Situation Center
(SSC). This library implements the client side of the
SSC RESTful web services.
For more general details about the SSC web services, see
https://sscweb.gsfc.nasa.gov/WebServices/REST/.
Code Example
This package contains example code calling most of the available web services.
To run the included example, do the following
python -m sscws


This
"Getting Started"
page contains information to help someone begin using the sscws library to
access information from the
Satellite Situation Center in a Python program.

Also, the following Jupyter notebooks demonstrate
different features of the library:

Simple Location Example (ipynb file)demonstrating a simple 3D plot of orbit information.
Complex Location Example (ipynb file) requesting many values including magnetic field line tracing. This example also demonstrates how to diagnose a problem with an invalid request.
Radial Conjunction With Ground Location (ipynb file).
Magnetic Field Line Conjunction Example (ipynb file) with related data retrieval/plotting using cdasws.

These notebooks are also available on
Binder.
Motivation
This library hides the HTTP, JSON/XML, and CDF details of the SSC web
services. A python developer only has to deal with python objects and
methods.
Dependencies
At this time, the only dependency are:

requests
numpy
matplotlib. This is an optional dependency. If it is not installed, the example will simple skip plotting some data.

The critical dependencies above will automatically be installed when this
library is.
Installation
To install this package
$ pip install -U sscws

or to include plotting
$ pip install -U sscws[plot]

API Reference
Refer to
sscws package API reference
or use the standard python help mechanism.

help(SscWs)

Tests
The tests directory contains
