IMAP Data Access Package

This is a minimal Python package that allows users to download, query, and upload data from the IMAP Science Data Center (SDC).

Configuration

The folder structure for data files within the IMAP SDC is rigidly defined, so the data access will mimic that structure to make sure all data is stored in the same heirarchical structure as the SDC. This will enable seamless transition between a user's local system and the SDC.

A user's root data location can be specified as an environment variable IMAP_DATA_DIR or through a configuration dictionary within the package itself imap_data_access.config["DATA_DIR"].

Importing as a package

import imap_data_access

# Search for files
results = imap_data_access.query(instrument="mag", data_level="l0")
# TODO: Update with example of return
# list of dictionaries
# []

# Download a file that was returned from the search
imap_data_access.download("imap/mag/l0/2024/01/imap_mag_l0_raw_202040101_20240101_v00-00.pkts")

# Upload a calibration file that exists locally
imap_data_access.upload("imap/mag/calibration/test_calibration.txt")
