Accessing new-image.fits and corr.fits files from API

[Jessica McKenna]

Hi all,

Apologies for my newbie questions - I have searched the group for some similar questions but I haven't found a resolution. 

I have written a script in python using Astrometry API to solve some images (AstrometryNet.solve_from_image). It works nicely, but I want to access the new-image.fits and the corr.fits files which are generated along with the solution and save them locally to a folder....however, I do not know how to access these files via API (as opposed to web version). Could anyone help me out? 

Thanks a mill,

Jessica

Hi Jessica,

Assuming your images are publicly visible, what the client.py does is just forms the URL using the JOBID, like this,

https://github.com/dstndstn/astrometry.net/blob/main/net/client/client.py#L433

and then fetches them using urllib.request.urlopen().  (You could also use the "requests" library.)

That is, there isn't a special API version of downloading those files because they're just regular file downloads.

cheers,

dustin
