Astroquery
An Astropy-affiliated package that lets researchers query the major astronomical archives and databases directly from code. Instead of clicking through web forms, a scientist can pull catalogues and images from MAST, VizieR, SIMBAD, and dozens of other services programmatically, making analyses scriptable and repeatable.
