Overview
Usage
Configure your project
Maven coordinates:
<dependency> <groupId>org.gcube.dataanalysis</groupId> <artifactId>motu-client</artifactId> <version>[1.0.0, 2.0.0)</version> </dependency>
Create a client
As a first step, you need to create a MotuClient object providing enough information to connect to the corresponding server:
MotuClient client = new MotuClient("server endpoint"); client.setUsername("username"); client.setPassword("password");
Setting the preferred download size
You can optionally specify the size of chunks to be downloaded. If not provided, the client will use the maximum size allowed by the server (currently most servers allow between 1 and 2 GB).
client.setPreferredDownloadSize(20*SizeUtils.MB);
Retrieving the product catalogue
A catalogue containing all services published by the Motu server can be obtained with:
MotuCatalogue catalogue = client.getCatalogue(); Collection<ServiceMetadata> services = catalogue.getServices();
A service usually contain different products (datasets). Typically there are products for different time resolution and/or different variables.
// get the list of products for a service Collection<ProductMetadataInfo> products = service.getProducts();
Product metadata can be obtained with:
ProductMetadataInfo product = ...; // get timestamps for which there are data available List<Calendar> times = product.getAvailableTimeCodes(); // the oldest timestamp in the dataset Calendar start = product.getFirstAvailableTimeCode(); // the most recent timestamp in the dataset Calendar end = product.getLastAvailableTimeCode(); // get the time resolution of the dataset (in hours) Long hours = product.getTimeResolution(); // get a list of depths for which there are data available List<Double> depths = product.getAvailableDepths(); // get the lowest depth value (i.e. closer to the surface) Double depth = product.getFirstAvailableDepth(); // get the highest depth value (i.e. the deeper level) Double depth = product.getLastAvailableDepth(); // get the set of variables in the dataset Collection<Variable> variables = product.getVariables(); // get the dimensions of the dataset (e.g. lat, lon, depth) Collection<Axis> axes = product.getDataGeospatialCoverage();
