Note

Beginning with version 1.1.1.a1, any references to “bfr” will cause the information from the “starship” function to be returned. This is because Elon Musk, on the 20th November 2018 renamed Big Falcon Rocket to Starship. [RefBFR]

Additionally, as of version 1.1.2, the function and references to “bfr” are considered to be deprecated.

Application function Parameters¶

Each parameter is an incremental filter, thus each filter will narrow down the return set.

The value should be expressed as a valid JSON payload, such as the following:

{
    "Creators":"["Albert Gallileo","Sergey Zuckerberg"]",
    "Platforms":"iOS"
}

An example of this would be:

parameters = {"Creators":"["Albert Gallileo",
                "Sergey Zuckerberg"]",
                "Platforms":"iOS"}                      # JSON payload indicating only iOS applications clients
                                                        # written by Albert Gallileo or Sergey Zuckerberg should be returned
timeOut = 2                                             # wait 2 seconds before recording a timeout
applications = spacexpython.info.apps(parameters,timeOut)
print(applications)

The JSON-format parameter list consists of one or more of :

Key	Meaning	Type	Example
Name	Application name	str	SpaceX-GraphQL
Links	Links(s) to the application name	NOT FILTERABLE
Types	Application type e.g. API, Website	dict	[“Website”, “App”, “Bot”, “API”]
Platforms	The platform(s) on which the application resides	dict	[“iOS”, “Android”, “Discord”, “Web”, “API”]
Creators	The creator(s) of the application	dict	[“Noah Zyrgunski”]
CreatorsLinks	Link(s) to creators detailed above	NOT FILTERABLE
Repos	Nature(s) of Repo(s)	dict	[“Github”, “N/A”, <other text>]
ReposLinks	Link(s) to repos detailed above	NOT FILTERABLE
More	Additional details	NOT FILTERABLE
MoreLinks	Link(s) to additional details as above	NOT FILTERABLE

The following is also valid syntax, and will return a complete list of applications:

parameters = ''                                         # ALL applications will be returned
timeOut = 3                                             # wait 3 seconds before recording a timeout
allapps = spacexpython.info.apps(parameters,timeOut)
print(allapps)

Note

This feature is new as of v1.1.2

Client function Parameters¶

Each parameter is an incremental filter, thus each filter will narrow down the return set.

The value should be expressed as a valid JSON payload, such as the following:

{
    "Name":"SpacePY-X",
    "Language":"Python"
}

An example of this would be:

parameters = {"Creators":"Harry Schroedinger",
                "Language":"Python"}                    # JSON payload indicating only Python clients
                                                        # written by Harry Schroedinger should be returned
timeOut = 2                                             # wait 2 seconds before recording a timeout
clients = spacexpython.info.clients(parameters,timeOut)
print(clients)

The JSON-format parameter list consists of one or more of :

Key	Meaning	Type	Example
Name	Client name	str	SpaceX-GraphQL
Languages	Language(s) in which the client is written	dict	[“Python”, “Rust”]
Creators	List of creator(s)	dict	[“William deAngelis”]
Repos	Nature(s) of Repo	dict	[“Github”, “NPM”, “Website”]
ReposLinks	Link(s) to repos detailled above	NOT FILTERABLE

The following is also valid syntax, and will return a complete list of clients:

parameters = ''                                         # ALL clients will be returned
timeOut = 3                                             # wait 3 seconds before recording a timeout
clients = spacexpython.info.clients(parameters,timeOut)
print(clients)

Note

This feature is new as of v1.1.2

Exceptions¶

Should an error occur anywhere in the call to a function (whether that be in the wrapper or the REST API itself), an exception will be raised.

All normal Python exceptions exist that can be trapped, however, the wrapper implements 2 new exceptions:

SpaceXReadTimeOut

This exception occurs when the API times out for any reason. It can be trapped, and possibly a retry or other action performed as appropriate, for example:

try:
    capsules_data = keyOrder(alphaOrder(spacexpython.capsules.capsules('',1)),'capsule_serial')
except spacexpython.utils.SpaceXReadTimeOut:
    print("Failure on retrieval of capsule information")

..code-block:: python

SpaceXParameterError

This exception occurs when the the paramaters for a wrapper call (and ultimately to the API itself) do not meet the type specifications set out in the core API definition:

try:
    coresP_data = alphaOrder(spacexpython.cores.cores('{"core_serial":"B1037","block":"true"}'))
except spacexpython.utils.SpaceXParameterError:
    print("Incorrect parameter")

This error is due to the block parameter in this instance showing true when the parameter is defined as an integer.

A further example :

try:
    coresP_data = alphaOrder(spacexpython.cores.cores('{"core_serial":"B1037","desired-block":"4"}'))
except spacexpython.utils.SpaceXParameterError:
    print("Incorrect parameter")

This error is due to the block parameter in this instance not being a valid parameter.

JSON Parameters¶

Most functions within thus wrapper will take a parameter (typically called “parameters”).

The value is a modifier/qualifier to the function call that is being made, and will affect the results of that function.

The value should be expressed as a valid JSON payload, such as the following:

{
    "status":"active",
    "limit":"3"
}

An example of this would be:

parameters = {"status":"active", "limit":"3"}    # JSON payload indicating only 3 active
                                               # capsules should be returned
timeOut = 2                                    # wait 2 seaconds before recording a timeout
capsules = spacexpython.capsules.capsules(parameters,timeOut)
print(capsule)

Note

As of version 1.1.1a2, initial validation has been introduced. This should NOT be considered production ready yet.

Up to and including version 1.0.0.alpha4, no parameter validation took place, therefore incorrect parameters would produce unknown and unpredictable effects. Please check all spelling and validity of parameters prior to use.

Simple and Easy API Wrapper for r-spacex/SpaceX-API ¶

Documentation¶

This API Wrapper aims to provide a simple and easy way to use the SpaceX-API in Python projects.

Installation: Note that this supports Python 3 ONLY

To install via pip use: pip install spacePY-X

Authentication

No authentication is currently required by r-spacex/SpaceX-API to use this public API and thus is not required in this wrapper.

Rate Limiting

The API has a rate limit of 50 req/sec per IP address, if exceeded, a response of 429 will be given until the rate drops back below 50 req/sec.
