# voeventdb.server [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/timstaley/voeventdb.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/timstaley/voeventdb)

A database-store and accompanying RESTful query API for archiving and retrieving
[VOEvent](http://voevent.readthedocs.org/) packets.

## Docs [![Documentation Status](http://readthedocs.org/projects/voeventdb/badge/?version=latest)](http://voeventdb.readthedocs.org/en/latest/?badge=latest)
voeventdb comes with a full set of
documentation, available at http://voeventdb.readthedocs.org.
If you're new to voeventdb, or have never even heard of a VOEvent, start
with the
[introduction page](http://voeventdb.readthedocs.org/en/latest/overview/intro.html).

## Client library
If you just want to query our VOEvent archive, rather than running your
own, then you should probably check out the Python-client-package,
[voeventdb.remote](http://voeventdbremote.readthedocs.io/).

## License
GPL v2 (see [licence file](COPYING.txt)).

## Acknowledgements
If you'd like to use voeventdb (or the REST API provided at
http://voeventdb.4pisky.org/) for work leading to a publication then I would
appreciate you getting in touch so that I can arrange a suitable
[ASCL](http://ascl.net/) entry or other DOI for citing.

Thanks to Sergey Koposov for making the [q3c](https://github.com/segasai/q3c)
library publicly available, which powers the cone-search feature of voeventdb.
