Welcome to sfapi_client

sfapi_client is a Python 3 client for NERSC's Superfacility API.

Install sfapi_client using pip:

$ pip install sfapi_client

Let's get started by checking the status of perlmutter:

>>> from sfapi_client import Client
>>> from sfapi_client.compute import Machine
>>> with Client() as client:
...     status = client.compute(Machine.perlmutter)
...
>>> status
Compute(name='perlmutter', full_name='Perlmutter', description='System Degraded', system_type='compute', notes=['2023-04-26 18:16 -- 2023-04-28 09:30 PDT, System Degraded, Rolling reboots are complete, a final reboot is scheduled for 0930 PDT'], status=<StatusValue.degraded: 'degraded'>, updated_at=datetime.datetime(2023, 4, 26, 18, 16, tzinfo=datetime.timezone(datetime.timedelta(days=-1, seconds=61200))), client=<sfapi_client._sync.client.Client object at 0x102c871c0>)
