Installation
=========================
The python module to help access the metadata in the hydrodat_catalog.yaml file
can be installed in a python virtual environment using pip::

    pip install git+ssh://git@github.com/HydroFrame-ML/hydrodata

Once the hydrodata package is installed you can use it for example::

    import hydrodata.data_catalog.data_access

    options = {
        "variable": "water_table_depth",
        "dataset": "conus1_baseline_mod",
        "grid": "conus1",
        "period": "daily",
        "file_type": "pfb"
    }
    # Get metadata about the entry in the row and the path names to the data files
    entry = hydrodata.data_catalog.data_access.get_catalog_entry(options)
    paths = hydrodata.data_catalog.data_access.get_file_paths(entry, start_time="2005-09-29", end_time="2005-10-03")
