Setup for Data Access

pystarboard is a convenient interface for pulling data from Spacescope. Spacescope requires users to register for a unique token in order to request the historical data. Thus, each user of pystarboard needs to register for a unique token to enable data access - this is a prerequisite to use pystarboard.

Steps:

1. Follow the instructions here to get your own unique bearer token for data access.
2. Store your token in a json configuration file with the key auth_key. An example is:

{
    "auth_key": "Bearer ghp_xJtTSVcNRJINLWMmfDangcIFCjqPUNZenoVe"
}

Usage

You will need to ensure that you setup your data access properly by running the following code

import pystarboard.data as data
path_to_auth_cfg="<UPDATE ME>"
data.setup_spacecope(path_to_auth_cfg)
