Basic usage

The GWDataFind service allows users to query for the location of Gravitational-Wave data files containing data associated with gravitational-wave detectors.

This package provides a number of functions to make requests to a GWDataFind server with authorization credential handling.

Top-level API

The :mod:`gwdatafind` top-level module provides a number of convenience functions to perform single queries without a persistent connection:

For example:

The above examples work well for 'one-shot' queries where only a single result is required. For repeated queries, or similar, that require multiple connections to the same GWDataFind host, see :doc:`session`.

Command-line interface

GWDataFind also provides a command-line interface accessible via module execution (python -m gwdatafind) or the gw_data_find entry point script. See :doc:`commandline`.
