A Python-based application programmer's interface for the Observations Data Model 2 (ODM2).
List of current and planned functions included in the API
For the latest documentation of the ODM2 Python API, see http://odm2.github.io/ODM2PythonAPI/
The easiest and most reliable way to install the ODM2 Python API (odm2api
) is using the
Conda package management system
via either
Anaconda
or
Miniconda.
To start using conda (if it's not your system default),
add conda to the PATH; on MacOSX and Linux,
it's something like export PATH=$HOME/miniconda/bin:$PATH
,
but the exact path may vary.
To activate a conda environment, say, "myenv":
activate myenv # On Windows
source activate myenv # On MacOSX or Linux
Note: odm2api
currently is only tested on Python 2.7. Some changes have been made to support Python 3.x,
but they haven't been tested thoroughly.
The
latest odm2api
release
is available on the
conda-forge anaconda.org channel
for all major OS paltforms (linux, OSX, win32/win64).
To install it on an existing conda environment:
conda install -c conda-forge odm2api
All dependencies are installed, including Pandas and its dependencies (numpy, etc).
To create a new environment "myenv" with the odm2api
package:
conda create -n myenv -c conda-forge python=2.7 odm2api

Download both requirements.txt
and requirements-dev.txt
.
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ODM2/ODM2PythonAPI/master/requirements.txt
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ODM2/ODM2PythonAPI/master/requirements-dev.txt
Create conda environment odm2api_dev
from the two requirements*
text files.
conda create -n odm2api_dev -c conda-forge python=2.7 --file requirements.txt --file requirements-dev.txt
Activate conda environment.
source activate odm2api_dev
activate odm2api_dev
