Statistics data

List of arguments

The list of arguments to access statistics can be found at https://api.lsst.fink-portal.org . The schema of the returned payload can be found on the schema page and you can also retrieve it programmatically.

The statistics page makes use of the REST API. If you want to further explore Fink statistics, get numbers for a talk, or create your own dashboard based on Fink data, you can do all of these yourself using the REST API. Here is an example using Python:

import io
import requests
import pandas as pd

# get stats for all the year 2026
r = requests.post(
  "https://api.lsst.fink-portal.org/api/v1/statistics",
  json={
    "date": "2026",
    "output-format": "json"
  }
)

# Format output in a DataFrame
pdf = pd.read_json(io.BytesIO(r.content))

Each row is an observing night. Note date can be either a given night (YYYYMMDD), month (YYYYMM), year (YYYY), or an empty string (all observing night).
