# Planetary Data System API Notebook



This repository contains example [JupyterLab notebooks](https://jupyter.org) for the [application programmer's interface (API)](https://nasa-pds.github.io/pds-api/) of the [Planetary Data System](https://pds.nasa.gov/). You can incorporate these into your existing JupiyterLab notebooks for the plotting and exhibition of planetary and other scientific data, and use them as springboards for new notebooks. You can also run these notebooks directly on any Python-capable computer with a web browser.



## 🖥 Prerequisites



To run these notebooks locally, you'll need [Python 3.7](https://python.org/) or later as well as a web browser.



## 🏃‍♀️ Getting Started



Run the following commands from a terminal and your default web browser should launch:



```console

$ # Create a virtual Python environment to isolate Jupyter and PDS dependencies

$ python3 -m venv venv

$ source venv/bin/activate

$ pip install --upgrade --quiet pip

$ # Install the dependencies

$ pip install --requirement requirements.txt

$ # Start it up

$ jupyter-lab

```

    

At this point you'll have a locally running JupyterLab server and your browser opened to it. (If not, point your browser to http://localhost:8888/lab).



From here, you can try out the PDS API notebooks in the `/notebooks/` folder in the file tree on the left side:



-   `ovirs` contains demonstration notebooks for the [OSIRIS-REx Visible and InfraRed Spectrometer, OVIRS](https://www.asteroidmission.org). Within this folder are two sub-folders with the actual demonstration notebooks:

    -   `part1` has the notebook `explore-a-collection.ipynb` that shows how to get a get and explore a data collection with the API.

    -   `part2` has a notebook `find-data-standalone.ipynb` that extracts a specific data collection subset. A [demo video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTclsXR713Y) of this notebook is available.

-   `galileo magnetometer` exhibits using PDS data in [WWT](https://pywwt.readthedocs.io/) via the PDS API. Run the following commands to configure your notebook to run pyWWT. 



```console

$ jupyter labextension install --no-build @jupyter-widgets/jupyterlab-manager

$ jupyter labextension install --no-build @wwtelescope/jupyterlab

$ jupyter lab build

$ # To start up 

$ jupyter-lab

```

Note that to interact with the pyWWT window, you must open a new tab in the jupyter notebook and select the AAS WorldWide Telescope icon. For further instructions and troubleshooting, see the [pyWWT installation page](https://pywwt.readthedocs.io/en/stable/installation.html#install-pywwt-with-pip).
