sedbuilder

The sedbuilder package implements a Python interface to the ASI Space Science Data Center's SED Builder REST API.

Overview

This package provides programmatic access to multi-wavelength spectral energy distribution (SED) data from catalogs, surveys, and archival observations across the electromagnetic spectrum. It is based on SED Builder, a software developed at the ASI-SSDC to produce and display the SED data over the web.

Installation

pip install ssdc-sedbuilder

Quick Start

from sedbuilder import get_data

# Get response from SED for astronomical coordinates
response = get_data(ra=194.04625, dec=-5.789167)

# Access data in different formats
table = response.to_astropy()     # Astropy Table
data_dict = response.to_dict()    # Python dictionary
jt = response.to_jetset(z=0.034)  # Jetset table
json_str = response.to_json()     # JSON string
df = response.to_pandas()         # Pandas DataFrame (requires pandas)

Development
