This short tutorial shows how to retrieve data from the staging service with python and requests.
For IDL you can take a similar route by adapting these instructions to Access to REST-Services in IDL.
Routes
First of all you should decide which route to use. Take a look at the swagger UI (http://localhost:8005/ui/ or http://cluster-r730-1:8005/ui/).
For this tutorial we will use the route to retrieve all available SWPC events.
- /swpc_event/list
Implementation
Retrieve
Use Python package requests.
For retrieving all SWPC events which are stored within the database we can use a GET request with the address given below.
# retrieving data
print('downloading all data...')
# swpc_events = requests.get("http://localhost:8005/swpc_event/list").json()
swpc_events = requests.get("http://cluster-r730-1:8005/swpc_event/list").json()
print(swpc_events)
