Methods Documentation

query(*args, **kwargs)

Queries the service and returns a table object.

Serves the same purpose as query but returns the raw HTTP response rather than a Table object.

Parameters:

minwavastropy.units.Quantity object

The lower wavelength for the spectrum in appropriate units.

maxwavastropy.units.Quantity object

The upper wavelength for the spectrum in appropriate units.

linenamestr or iterable of str, optional

The spectrum/spectra to fetch. Defaults to “H I”

energy_level_unitstr, optional

The energy level units must be one of the following: ‘R’, ‘Rydberg’, ‘rydberg’, ‘cm’, ‘cm-1’, ‘EV’, ‘eV’, ‘electronvolt’, ‘ev’, ‘invcm’ Defaults to ‘eV’.

output_orderstr, optional

Decide ordering of output. Must be one of following: [‘wavelength’, ‘multiplet’]. Defaults to ‘wavelength’.

wavelength_typestr, optional

Must be one of ‘vacuum’ or ‘vac+air’. Defaults to ‘vacuum’.

get_query_payloadbool, optional

If true then returns the dictionary of query parameters, posted to remote server. Defaults to False.

Returns:

tableA Table object.

query_async(minwav, maxwav, *, linename='H I', energy_level_unit='eV', output_order='wavelength', wavelength_type='vacuum', get_query_payload=False)

Serves the same purpose as query but returns the raw HTTP response rather than a Table object.

Parameters:

maxwavastropy.units.Quantity object

The upper wavelength for the spectrum in appropriate units.

linenamestr or iterable of str, optional

The spectrum/spectra to fetch. Defaults to “H I”

energy_level_unitstr, optional

The energy level units must be one of the following: ‘R’, ‘Rydberg’, ‘rydberg’, ‘cm’, ‘cm-1’, ‘EV’, ‘eV’, ‘electronvolt’, ‘ev’, ‘invcm’ Defaults to ‘eV’.

output_orderstr, optional

Decide ordering of output. Must be one of following: [‘wavelength’, ‘multiplet’]. Defaults to ‘wavelength’.

wavelength_typestr, optional

Must be one of ‘vacuum’ or ‘vac+air’. Defaults to ‘vacuum’.

get_query_payloadbool, optional

If true then returns the dictionary of query parameters, posted to remote server. Defaults to False.

Returns:

responserequests.Response object

The response of the HTTP request.
