obspy.clients.seedlink.basic_client.Client.get_info

Client.get_info(network=None, station=None, location=None, channel=None, level='station', cache=True)[source]

Request available stations information from the seedlink server.

Supports fnmatch wildcards, e.g. * and ?, in network, station, location and channel.

>>> client = Client('rtserver.ipgp.fr')
>>> info = client.get_info(station="FDFM")
>>> print(info)
[('G', 'FDFM')]
>>> info = client.get_info(station="FD?M", channel='*Z',
...                        level='channel')
>>> print(info)  
[('G', 'FDFM', '00', 'BHZ'), ('G', 'FDFM', '00', 'HHZ'),
 ('G', 'FDFM', '00', 'HNZ'), ('G', 'FDFM', '00', 'LHZ'),
 ('G', 'FDFM', '10', 'BHZ'), ('G', 'FDFM', '10', 'HHZ'),
 ('G', 'FDFM', '10', 'LHZ')]

Available station information is cached after the first request to the server, so use cache=False on subsequent requests if there is a need to force fetching new information from the server (should only concern programs running in background for a very long time).

Parameters:

network (str) – Network code. Supports fnmatch wildcards, e.g. * and ?.
station (str) – Station code. Supports fnmatch wildcards, e.g. * and ?.
location (str) – Location code. Supports fnmatch wildcards, e.g. * and ?.
channel (str) – Channel code. Supports fnmatch wildcards, e.g. * and ?.
cache (bool) – Subsequent function calls are cached, use cache=False to force fetching station metadata again from the server.

Return type:

list

Returns:

list of 2-tuples (or 4-tuples with level='channel') with network/station (network/station/location/channel, respectively) code combinations for which data is served by the server.
