This python package provides functions for quick access of SciServer APIs (web services) and tools. SciServer provides a new online framework for data-intensive scientifc computing in the cloud, where the motto is to bring the computation close where the data is stored, and allow seamless access and sharing of big data sets within the scientific community.

Some SciServer tools you can access with this package:

• Login Portal: Single sign-on portal to all SciServer applications.

• CasJobs: Database storage and querying.

• SciDrive: Drag-and-drop file storage and sharing.

• SkyServer: Access to the SDSS astronomical survey.

• SkyQuery: Cross-match of astronomical source catalogs.
