SofarOcean is creating one of the largest commercial ocean observation grids with its smart buoys (spotters) & smart mooring. Spotter delivers high-fidelity, real-time wave, wind, and temperature data from anywhere. Sofar is also focused on providing this dataset to researchers and users of the data and this tool was an attempt to simple parse spotter information. They also have an official client for doing many of these functions which can be found here sofar-api-client-python. You can also find their indepth API and documentation here This tool is an attempt to parse out some of the basic functionalities of the API including but not limited to tool like authentication protocols, token reset, and data export for easy use in other platforms like google earth engine.
