Documentation for aalibrary.tugboat_api.TugboatAPI

The TugboatAPI class provides a way to access the the API for Tugboat through AALibrary. There are functions for submitting datasets, and even functions for creating and updating metadata related to Tugboat.

This class provides methods to interact with the Tugboat API.

Methods:

Name	Description
__init__	Initializes the TugboatAPI class.
check_connection	Fetches a sea area by its ID from the Tugboat API to test the
create_empty_submission_file	Creates an empty submission file at the file_download_location.
get_all_instruments	Fetches all instruments from the Tugboat API.
get_all_jobs	Fetches all jobs from the Tugboat API. Useful for checking
get_all_organizations	Fetches all organizations from the Tugboat API.
get_all_people	Fetches all people & their info from the Tugboat API.
