Installation

The easiest way is to use PyPi

pip install pyAstroApi

otherwise to build from source, after checking out the code,

pip install -r requirements.txt

to install the dependencies. Then to build and install software

pip install .

Documentation can be built locally with

cd doc
make html
firefox build/html/index.html

ADS key

You will need your own ADS api key: https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/user/settings/token

This can be saved to the file

~/.ads/dev_key

This location was chosen to be consistent with Andy Cassey’s package.

ORCID Key

You can saved your ORCID to

~/.dev/orcid
