3 Interacting STIX Data Center using python =

Stixdcpy is a Python package that facilitates access and analysis of STIX data. It provides APIs to query and download data from the STIX data center and a set of tools for visualizing data and performing common analysis tasks. With stixdcpy, users can query and download the following types of data from the STIX data center:

• Quick-look light curves
• Housekeeping data
• Science data
• Energy calibration data
• Auxiliary data
• STIX solar flare list
• STIX operational events"
