Waveform and Station Downloading Client

This tool was created to automate waveform and station data download. Please cite appropriate authorities if you are using the data for non-commercial purposes. Commercial use of the data without permission is forbidden. Please read the printed warnings from the data centers printed out.

Installation

pip install numpy==1.8.1 # obspy 1.2.1 is not compatible with numpy 1.9.1
pip install afdcli

Station Data

get_stations(network, station, starttime, endtime, **kwargs)

Arguments:

network: Network code, wildcards allowed ("T?", "*")

station: Station code, wildcards allowed ("B?ZM", "B*")

starttime: start time string in ISO format at UTC ("2020-03-27T06:00:13Z")

endtime: start time string in ISO format at UTC ("2020-03-28T06:00:13Z")

Parameters:

attach_response: Returns instrument response

minlatitude, maxlatitude, minlongitude, maxlongitude: Window of coordinates of stations

Waveform Data

get_waveforms(network, station, starttime, endtime, **kwargs)

Arguments:

network: Network code, wildcards allowed ("T?", "*")

station: Station code, wildcards allowed ("B?ZM", "B*")

starttime: start time string in ISO format at UTC ("2020-03-27T06:00:13Z")

endtime: start time string in ISO format at UTC ("2020-03-28T06:00:13Z")

Parameters:

minlatitude, maxlatitude, minlongitude, maxlongitude: Window of coordinates of stations

data_format: "mseed" for miniseed or "fseed" for fullseed formats

filename: filename to save the file (not implemented)

Examples

downloading waveforms:

from afdcli.client import Client
c = Client()
c.get_waveforms('*','BO*', '2020-06-25T17:19:16Z', '2020-06-26T17:20:16Z')

downloading stations with instrument response

from afdcli.client import Client
c = Client()
c.get_stations('*','BO*', '2020-06-25T17:19:16Z', '2020-06-26T17:20:16Z', instrument_response=True)
