#
#  Simple example to demonstrate the use of pyvo/TAP for programmatic
#  access to archive.lbto.org.  This example retrieves the names of all
#  LUCI files acquired on UT November 6 2024.
#
import pyvo

#
# Construct the service object
#
access_url = “https://archive.lbto.org/tap“
service = pyvo.dal.TAPService(access_url)

#
# Form the query
#
query = “””SELECT lbt.file_name AS file_name FROM lbt.lbt lbt WHERE lbt.file_name LIKE ‘%luci1%’ AND lbt.date_obs >= ‘2024-11-06T12:00:00.0’ AND lbt.date_obs <= ‘2024-11-07T12:00:00.0′”””

#
# Issue the query
#
result = service.run_async( query )

# Print the results
for row in result:
print(row[“file_name”])
