HinetPy.client module

class HinetPy.client.Client(user=None, password=None, timeout=60, retries=3, sleep_time_in_seconds=5, max_sleep_count=30)

Wrapper client to request waveform, catalog and manipulate stations.

Parameters:

  • user (str) – Username of Hi-net account.

  • password (str) – Password of Hi-net account.

  • timeout (float) – Time to wait for the server to send data before giving up.

  • retries (int) – How many times to retry if a request fails.

  • sleep_time_in_seconds (float) – Sleep time between each data status check. See notes below.

  • max_sleep_count (int) – Maximum number of sleeps before failing. See notes below.

Notes

The Hi-net server ususally spends 10-60 seconds on data preparation after receiving a data request. During the data preparation, users are NOT allowed to post another data request. So users have to wait until the data is ready.

HinetPy checks data status every sleep_time_in_seconds seconds for no more than max_sleep_count times, until the data is ready. If the data status is still NOT ready after max_sleep_count * sleep_time_in_seconds seconds, it most likely means something goes wrong with the data request. Then, HinetPy will retry to request the data retries times. Ususally, you don’t need to modify these parameters unless you know what you’re doing.

Examples

>>> from HinetPy import Client
>>> client = Client("username", "password")
doctor()

Doctor does some checks.

This is a utility function that checks:

  • if HinetPy has a new release

  • if Hi-net web service is updated

  • if catwin32 and win2sac_32 are in PATH

>>> client.doctor()
Hi-net web service is NOT updated.
You're using the latest release (v0.x.x).
catwin32: Full path is /home/user/bin/catwin32.
win2sac_32: Full path is /home/user/bin/win2sac_32.
check_service_update()

Check if Hi-net service is updated.

>>> client.check_service_update()

Notes

TimeZone

All times in HinetPy and in Hi-net data are in JST (UTC+0900).

max_span

Hi-net server sets three limitations for each data request:

  1. Record_Length <= 60 min

  2. Number_of_channels * Record_Length <= 12000 min

  3. Only the latest 150 requested data are kept

For example, Hi-net network has about 24000 channels. Acoording to limitation 2, the record length should be no more than 5 minutes for each data request. HinetPy “break through” the limitation by splitting a long-duration data request into several short-duration sub-requsts.

How it works

  1. do several checks

  2. split a long-duration request into several short-duration sub-requests

  3. loop over all sub-requests and return the data IDs

  4. download all data based on the data IDs

  5. extract all zip files and merge them into one single win32 data

  6. clean up

Examples

Request 6-minute data since 2010-01-01T05:35 (UTC+0900) from Hi-net.

>>> client.get_continuous_waveform("0101", "201001010535", 6)
('0101_201001010535_6.cnt', '0101_20100101.ch')

Several other string formats of starttime are also supported:

>>> client.get_continuous_waveform("0101", "2010-01-01 05:35", 6)
>>> client.get_continuous_waveform("0101", "2010-01-01T05:35", 6)

datetime.datetime is also supported:

>>> from datetime import datetime
