choose_RegTAP_service

pyvo.registry.choose_RegTAP_service(access_url)[source]

changes the RegTAP service used by search() to the one at access_url.

By default, pyVO uses whatever is given in the environment variable IVOA_REGISTRY, defaulting to GAVO’s TAP service. In order to change the service used on the fly, always use this function in order to clear caches that need clearing.

Parameters:
access_urlstr

The TAP access URL of the new RegTAP endpoints. To find alternate endpoints, try regsearch(datamodel='regtap') and look at .get_interface("tap").access_url of the results.
