Introduction

voeventdb.remote is a Python library for performing remote queries against a voeventdb REST interface, like the one hosted by the 4 Pi Sky research group at http://voeventdb.4pisky.org.

You can use this library to easily retrieve information about transient astronomical events, if that information was sent via the public VOEvent network.

For a fuller introduction including a list of features, see the main voeventdb.server docs. Alternatively, jump right in to the tutorial to learn by example.

Installation

voeventdb.remote is available via PyPi, which means that if you are using a virtualenv then you should be able to simply type:

pip install voeventdb.remote

at the command line. Alternatively, you can install into your user-area using:

pip install --user voeventdb.remote
