Integrating Single-Target Data Service Queries ---------------------------------------------- The base TOM Toolkit comes with `ATLAS `__, `PanSTARRS `__, and (coming soon) ZTF query services. These services query a specific catalog to return data for an individual target and are optional, requiring additional configuration in order to integrate into your TOM. Additional services can be added by extending the ``BaseSingleTargetDataService`` implementation (:ref:`see below`). Integrating existing Single-Target Data Services ################################################ You must add certain configuration to your TOM's ``settings.py`` to setup the existing single-target data services. This configuration will go in the ``SINGLE_TARGET_DATA_SERVICES`` section shown below: .. code:: python SINGLE_TARGET_DATA_SERVICES = { 'ATLAS': { 'class': 'tom_dataproducts.single_target_data_service.atlas.AtlasForcedPhotometryService', 'url': "https://fallingstar-data.com/forcedphot", 'api_key': os.getenv('ATLAS_FORCED_PHOTOMETRY_API_KEY', 'your atlas account api token') }, 'PANSTARRS': { 'class': 'tom_dataproducts.single_target_data_service.panstarrs_service.panstarrs.PanstarrsSingleTargetDataService', 'url': 'https://catalogs.mast.stsci.edu/api/v0.1/panstarrs', # MAST Base URL # MAST_API_TOKEN is not required for public data 'api_key': os.getenv('MAST_API_TOKEN', 'MAST_API_TOKEN not set') }, # TODO: coming soon... # # 'ZTF': { # } } DATA_PRODUCT_TYPES = { ... 'atlas_photometry': ('atlas_photometry', 'Atlas Photometry'), 'panstarrs_photometry': ('panstarrs_photometry', 'PanSTARRS Photometry'), ... } DATA_PROCESSORS = { ... 'atlas_photometry': 'tom_dataproducts.processors.atlas_processor.AtlasProcessor', 'panstarrs_photometry': 'tom_dataproducts.processors.panstarrs_processor.PanstarrsProcessor', ... } As you can see in the ``SINGLE_TARGET_DATA_SERVICES`` configuration dictionary above, some services require an API key. Information on how to obtain an API key is available for both for `ATLAS `_ and for `PanSTARRS `_. (PanSTARRS Photometry is accessed via `Catalogs.MAST `_). Configuring your TOM to serve tasks asynchronously: *************************************************** Several of the services are best suited to be queried asynchronously, especially if you plan to make large queries that would take a long time. The TOM Toolkit can be setup to use `django-tasks `_ as an asynchronous task manager. To use django-tasks you can enable it by adding the following to your settings.py file: .. code:: python INSTALLED_APPS = [ ... 'django_tasks', 'django_tasks.backends.database', ... ] .. code:: python TASKS = { "default": { "BACKEND": "django_tasks.backends.database.DatabaseBackend" # "BACKEND": "django_tasks.backends.immediate.ImmediateBackend" } } After adding the ``django_tasks`` installed app, you will need to run ``./manage.py migrate`` once to setup its DB tables. If this configuration is set in your TOM, the existing services which support asynchronous queries, Atlas and ZTF, should start querying asynchronously. (Note: You must also start the task workers: ``./manage.py db_worker``. If you do not add these settings, those services will still function but will fall back to synchronous queries. Adding a new Single-Target Data Service ####################################### The Single-Target Data services fulfill an interface defined in `BaseSingleTargetDataService `_. To implement your own single-target data service, you need to do three things: #. Subclass ``BaseSingleTargetDataService`` #. Subclass ``BaseSingleTargetDataServiceQueryForm`` #. Subclass ``DataProcessor`` Once those subclasses are implemented, don't forget to update your settings for ``SINGLE_TARGET_DATA_SERVICES``, ``DATA_PRODUCT_TYPES``, and ``DATA_PROCESSORS`` for your new service and its associated data product type. Subclass BaseSingleTargetDataService: ************************************* The most important method here is the ``query_service`` method which is where you put your service's business logic for making the query, given the form parameters and target. This method is expected to create a DataProduct in the database at the end of the query, storing the result file or files. If queries to your service are expected to take a long time and you would like to make them asynchronously (not blocking the UI while calling), then follow the example in the `atlas implementation `_ and place your actual asynchronous query method in your module's ``tasks.py`` file so it can be found by django-tasks. Like in the atlas implementation, your code should check to see if the current task backend is asynchronous or immediate and handle the result appropriately. The ``get_data_product_type`` method should return the name of your new data product type you are going to define a DataProcessor for. This must match the name you add to ``DATA_PROCESSORS`` and ``DATA_PRODUCT_TYPES`` in your ``settings.py``. You will also need to define a `DataProcessor `_ for this data type. Subclass BaseSingleTargetDataServiceQueryForm: ********************************************** This class defines the form users will need to fill out to query the service. It uses `django-crispy-forms `_ to define the layout programmatically. You first will add whatever form fields you need to the base of your subclass, and then just fill in the ``layout()`` method with a django-crispy-forms layout for your fields, and optionally the ``clean()`` method if you want to perform any field validation. The values of the fields from this form will be available to you in your service class in the ``query_service`` method. Subclass DataProcessor: *********************** You must create a custom DataProcessor that knows how to convert data returned from your service into a series of either photometry or spectroscopy datums. Without defining this step, your queries will still result in a DataProduct file being stored from the service's ``query_service`` method, but those files will not be parsed into photometry or spectroscopy datums. You can read more about how to implement a custom DataProcessor `here <./customizing_data_processing.html>`_.
