pymaid.get_annotation_details fails with exception

[pnewstein]

Issue

Calling the pymaid.get_annotation_details on any neurons raises KeyError 'aaData'.

I am using the catmaid server at this url

https://neurophyla.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/catmaid/drosophila/l1/seymour

and do not have access to any other servers for testing.

Possible solution

Replacing "aaData" with "data" in the get_annotation_details function in pymaid/fetch/init.py fixes this issue.

the "aaData" key exists in two other functions: get_user_annotations, pymaid.get_logs. This change is necessary to get get_user_annotations to work. But I cannot get pymaid.get_logs to work with either "aaData" or "data". Instead, I get an exception: requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 1 errors encountered: 400 Server Error: Bad Request for url: https://neurophyla.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/catmaid/drosophila/l1/seymour/1/logs/list. Perhaps this is an unrelated issue. I am personaly only interested in using the get_annotation_details function.

In case it's helpful in other cases, there are a few public CATMAID instances at virtual fly brain (tools -> CATMAID). The L1EM instance is just the published data from Seymour.

Works just fine using the public VFB instance:

>>> import pymaid
>>> rm = pymaid.CatmaidInstance("https://fafb.catmaid.virtualflybrain.org/", api_token=None, project_id=1)
>>> pymaid.get_annotation_details(13686)

Could you perhaps check your server's CATMAID version? For the VFB it is this:

>>> rm.catmaid_version
'2020.02.15-102-gce1dee4'

[pnewstein]

My catmaid_version is '2021.12.21.dev0+unknown'

Supporting this version of catmaid doesn't seem like it should be a high priority if it is not used in the public servers. I will just use the public servers for this information in the future.

Thanks!

Maybe @tomka can weigh in?
