spexod is a Python package that provides a Python interface to access the SpExoDisks API spexodisks.com/api/. The project is provides users with a convenient access data for a particular source. It offers a set of functions making it easier to retrieve and manipulate the information as needed. One of the key advantages of using the Python API is its ability to access more data than what is typically visible on the explore data page or user interface. While the explore data page may present a limited subset of the available data, the Python API allows users to query and retrieve a broader range of information. This can be particularly useful for users who require comprehensive access to the data for analysis, research, or other purposes. Furthermore, the Python API allows users to access the data in its purest form, including any NULL or empty values that may exist. This means that users have direct access to the original data structure and can work with it as it is, without any modifications or preprocessing. This level of data integrity can be beneficial for advanced data analysis or when specific processing steps need to be performed on the data.

Check out the Usage section for further information, including how to install the project.
