Astrodata is an affiliated package that contains a collection of classes and functions to access online Astronomical data. Each web service has its own sub-package. For example, to interface with the IRSA website, use the irsa sub-package:

from astroquery import irsa

from astroquery import simbad theta1c = astroquery.simbad.QueryId('tet01 Ori C').execute() theta1c.table.pprint()
