Jupyter Notebooks for illustrating use of the NSF's OIR Lab Astro Data Archive APIs

API How-To notebooks

• Advanced Search
• Simple Image Access
• API Authentication

These notebooks focus on the API (Application Programming Interface) for the NOIRLab Astro Data Archive. Using this API as part of a science work flow is (mostly) beyond the scope of these notebooks.

Science example notebooks

• Making an exposure map for DES

This notebook borrows from the API How-To notebooks to show how they might be used for a specific science purpose. More such notebboks will be added in the future.
