# Python API The usage of Python API is demonstrated in [several Notebooks](https://git.sophia.mines-paristech.fr/oie/libinsitu/-/tree/main/notebooks) * [netcdf_to_dataframe](netcdf_to_dataframe) : Read a NetCDF file (or OpenDAP URL) into a pandas dataframe * [dataframe_to_netcdf](dataframe_to_netcdf) : Encodes a pandas Dataframe into a NetCDF file * [compute_qc_flags](compute_qc_flags) : Compute QC flags of a Dataframe of irradiance * [visual_qc](visual_qc) : Generates visual QC from a dataframe ```{toctree} --- hidden: maxdepth: 1 --- netcdf_to_dataframe dataframe_to_netcdf compute_qc_flags visual_qc ```
