Python Client

Constructors

These are functions for constructing a client object.

tiled.client.from_uri(uri[, ...])	Connect to a Node on a local or remote server.
tiled.client.from_profile(name[, ...])	Build a Node based a 'profile' (a named configuration).

Client Container

The Container interface extends the collections.abc.Mapping (i.e. read-only dict) interface, so it supports these standard “magic methods”:

• __getitem__ (lookup by key with [])

• __iter__ (iteration, use in for-loops for example)

• __len__ (has a length, can be passed to len)

as well as:

tiled.client.container.Container.get(k[,d])
tiled.client.container.Container.keys()
tiled.client.container.Container.items()
tiled.client.container.Container.values()

The views returned by .keys(), .items(), and .values() support efficient random access—e.g.

c.values()[3]
c.values()[-1]
c.values()[:3]

and several convenience methods:

tiled.iterviews.ValuesView.first()	Get the first value.
tiled.iterviews.ValuesView.last()	Get the last value.
tiled.iterviews.ValuesView.head([n])	Get the first N values.
tiled.iterviews.ValuesView.tail([n])	Get the last N values.

Likewise for .keys() and .items().

Beyond the Mapping interface, Container adds the following attributes

tiled.client.container.Container.metadata	Metadata about this data source.
tiled.client.container.Container.sorting	The current sorting of this Node
tiled.client.container.Container.uri	Direct link to this entry
tiled.client.container.Container.specs	List of specifications describing the structure of the metadata and/or data.

It adds these methods, which return a new Container instance.

tiled.client.container.Container.search(query)	Make a Node with a subset of this Node's entries, filtered by query.
tiled.client.container.Container.sort(*sorting)	Make a Node with the same entries but sorted according to sorting.

It adds this method, which returns the unique metadata keys, structure_families, and specs of its children along with their counts.

tiled.client.container.Container.distinct(...)

Get the unique values and optionally counts of metadata_keys, structure_families, and specs in this Node's entries

And, finally, there are convenience methods for writing:

tiled.client.container.Container.create_container([...])	EXPERIMENTAL: Create a new, empty container.
tiled.client.container.Container.write_array(...)	EXPERIMENTAL: Write an array.
tiled.client.container.Container.write_awkward(...)	Write an AwkwardArray.
tiled.client.container.Container.write_dataframe(...)	EXPERIMENTAL: Write a DataFrame.
tiled.client.container.Container.write_sparse(...)	EXPERIMENTAL: Write a sparse array.

and a low-level method for creating a new node to write into:

tiled.client.container.Container.new(...[, ...])

Create a new item within this Node.

Structure Clients

For each structure family (“array”, “table”, etc.) there is a client object that understand how to request and decode chunks/partitions of data for this structure.

In fact, there can be more than one client for a given structure family. Tiled currently includes two clients for each structure family:

• A client that reads the data into dask-backed objects (dask array, dask DataFrame, xarray objects backed by dask arrays)

• A client that reads the data into in-memory structures (numpy array, pandas DataFrame, xarray objects backed by numpy arrays)

Base

tiled.client.base.BaseClient.uri	Direct link to this entry
tiled.client.base.BaseClient.item	JSON payload describing this item.
tiled.client.base.BaseClient.login([...])	Depending on the server's authentication method, this will prompt for username/password:
tiled.client.base.BaseClient.logout()	Log out.
tiled.client.base.BaseClient.new_variation([...])	This is intended primarily for internal use and use by subclasses.
tiled.client.base.BaseClient.specs	List of specifications describing the structure of the metadata and/or data.
tiled.client.base.BaseClient.structure()	Return a dataclass describing the structure of the data.
