RS Client Libraries overview

The RS-Client libraries allows the user to call all the RS-Server services. It is composed mainly from the base class RsClient and the classes which extend this base class: AuxipClient, CadipClient and StacClient.

The RsClient class is a base class for interacting with the RS-Server. It provides methods for managing and retrieving files about various resources and stations available on the server. The class includes methods for checking file download statuses, staging files for a future processing, and searching for files within specified time ranges. It also provides methods for creating instances of its child classes: AuxipClient, CadipClient, and StacClient.

The AuxipClient class extends the RsClient class to provide specific functionality for interfacing with the ADGS (Auxiliary Data Generation System) endpoints runnin on the RS-Server. This class overrides the necessary properties to define the ADGS-specific endpoints for searching, staging, and checking the status of file downloads.

The CadipClient class extends the RsClient class to provide specific functionality for interfacing with the CADIP (CADU Ingestion Platform) endpoints running on the RS-Server. This class overrides the necessary properties to define the CADIP-specific endpoints for searching sessions, staging files, and checking the status of file downloads.

The StacClient class extends the RsClient class and the PySTAC to provide specific functionality for interfacing with the STAC (SpatioTemporal Asset Catalog) endpoints on the RS-Server. This class overrides the necessary properties to define the STAC-specific endpoints. Please check also the PyStac client usage documentation for how to use the read catalog methods.
