4.1.1.12 HAPI

HAPI, the Heliophysics Data Application Programmer’s Interface is a protocol for serving streamed time series data. This reader can read HAPI CSV and binary tables if they include header information (the include=header request parameter must be present). An example HAPI URL is

   https://vires.services/hapi/data?dataset=GRACE_A_MAG&start=2009-01-01&stop=2009-01-02&include=header

While HAPI data is normally accessed directly from the service, it is possible to download a HAPI stream to a local file and use this handler to read it from disk.

This format cannot be automatically identified by its content, so in general it is necessary to specify that a table is in HAPI format when reading it. However, if the input file has the extension ".hapi" (case insensitive) an attempt will be made to read it using this format.
