web API status

Following discussion in #35

Play with web API status (for erddap and argovis)

Add badges for API status

[gmaze]

Hi all,
I propose here a simple new function available of the package level as: argopy.status()

In a notebook, this function will insert badges indicating the current status (availability) of web API like this:

and if not in a notebook, it will print something like:

erddap: up
argovis: up

As a complement I also created the new repo https://github.com/euroargodev/argopy-status that is dedicated to create online monitoring tools of what we need in argopy.

You can also check and subscribe to monitoring results at https://argopy.statuspage.io

What would be great, would be to have an asynchronous check of the status that would run in the background once the function is called. So that the status could be replaced and update in the same cell.

But I don't know how to do this

But I don't know how to do this

I tried to be a quick learner on this one !

So I implemented a new version of argopy.status() that will refresh automatically.
It has a default refresh rate of 1 sec, this can be tuned with the option argopy.status(refresh=10)

I also included a status check for the local ftp data source, in case the ftp folder would be "unplugged" after the option was set.

Example of output:

All online:

After going offline:

If your're online but unplug or unmount the disk with localftp, the status will change to:

Note that this is not yet very robust wrt to environment, i.e. running in a notebook cell or ipython/python terminal

Strange behaviour in my jupyter-lab, not rendering the argopy.status() but does render ipywidgets examples.

for some unknown reasons I had the same issue, no rendering of the html out of argopy.status(),

I changed the output of the status function to remove the [] around the HTML widget, and it worked

@quai20 did you identified what was going on with the status rendering in your notebooks ?

After a clean reinstall of ipywidgets and the modification you did in
ef99ed1, it works well in my environment (both lab & notebooks).
