Client

✓ from drms import Client

✗ from drms import Client

Creates a DRMS Client and queries the HMI series for 5 records' observation times.

import os from drms import Client c = Client() ts = c.query('hmi.v_45s', key='T_OBS', count=5) print(ts)

Debug

Known issues

breakingIn version 0.7.0, the `Client` class removed support for Python 3.7 and below. The `export` method now returns a `ExportRequest` object instead of a dict.

fix

Update your code to use the new `ExportRequest` API: call `.wait()` or `.download()` on the returned object.

affects: >=0.7.0

breakingThe `query` method changed its return type from a list of strings to a pandas DataFrame in version 0.6.0.

fix

If you relied on list indexing, use DataFrame column selection or convert with `.values.tolist()`.

affects: >=0.6.0

gotchaDRMS requires an internet connection and the JSOC server may be unreachable during maintenance. Always handle `ConnectionError` or `drms.DrmsOperationError`.

fix

Wrap calls in try/except blocks: try: ... except drms.DrmsOperationError as e: print(e)

affects: all

gotchaWhen accessing private data or making many queries, you must set the `jsoc_email` parameter in the Client constructor, otherwise the server may throttle or reject requests.

fix

Use `Client(email='your.email@example.com')` instead of the default anonymous client.

affects: all
