Python usage example
from wsdb import WSDB
from astropy.table import Table
local_catalogue = Table.read("some-local-catalogue.csv")
client = WSDB(database="wsdb", host="goto-observatory.org",
user="goto", password="ask_andy_on_slack")
print(client.catalogues)
>>> ('apassdr9_main', 'twomass_psc', 'gaiadr1_tgas_source',
'gaiadr1_gaia_source', 'sdssdr9_phototag', 'goto_sources')
# Nearest-neighbour match with some local catalogue
targets_nearest_neighbour = client.nearest_neighbour_query(
"apassdr9_main", local_catalogue["ra"], local_catalogue["dec"])
# Polygon search
targets_in_a_box = client.polygon_query("apassdr9_main",
(127.3239975, 127.3239975, 134.117885, 134.117885),
(11.5666857, 23.5, 23.5, 11.5666857))
# Cone search
targets_in_a_cone = wsdb.radial_query("apassdr9_main",
45.212, -34.113, radius=0.1)
