XRSClient#

class sunpy.net.dataretriever.XRSClient[source]#

Bases: GenericClient

Provides access to several GOES XRS files archive.

For older GOES satellites (7 and below), NASA servers are used. For newer GOES satellites (8 and above), NOAA servers are used.

For GOES 8-15, the data is the re-processed science-quality data.

Note

The new science quality data have the scaling factors removed for GOES 8-15 and they are not added to GOES 16 AND 17 data products. This means the peak flux will be different to the older version of the data, such as those collected from the NASA servers.

See the following readmes about these data:

Examples

>>> from sunpy.net import Fido, attrs as a
>>> results = Fido.search(a.Time("2016/1/1", "2016/1/2"),
...                       a.Instrument.xrs)
>>> results
<sunpy.net.fido_factory.UnifiedResponse object at ...>

Attributes Summary

info_url

This should return a string that is a URL to the data server or documentation on the data being served.

pattern_new

pattern_old

pattern_r

Methods Summary

post_search_hook(i, matchdict)

Helper function used after search() which makes the extracted metadata representable in a query response table.

register_values()

This enables the client to register what kind of Attrs it can use directly.

search(*args, **kwargs)

Query this client for a list of results.

Methods Documentation

post_search_hook(i, matchdict)[source]#

Helper function used after search() which makes the extracted metadata representable in a query response table.

Parameters:

  • exdict (dict) – Represents metadata extracted from files.

  • matchdict (dict) – Contains attr values accessed from register_values() and the search query itself.

Returns:

rowdict (OrderedDict) – An Ordered Dictionary which is used by QueryResponse to show results.

classmethod register_values()[source]#

This enables the client to register what kind of Attrs it can use directly.

Returns:

dict – A dictionary with key values of Attrs and the values are a tuple of (“Attr Type”, “Name”, “Description”).

search(*args, **kwargs)[source]#

Query this client for a list of results.

Parameters:

  • *args (tuple) – sunpy.net.attrs objects representing the query.

  • **kwargs (dict) – Any extra keywords to refine the search.

Returns:

A QueryResponse instance containing the query result.
