# obspy.core.event.base.WaveformStreamID

class `WaveformStreamID`(network_code=None, station_code=None, location_code=None, channel_code=None, resource_uri=None, seed_string=None)

  Bases: `obspy.core.event.base.__WaveformStreamID`

  Reference to a stream description in an inventory.

  This is mostly equivalent to the combination of networkCode, stationCode, locationCode, and channelCode. However, additional information, e. g., sampling rate, can be referenced by the resourceURI. It is recommended to use resourceURI as a flexible, abstract, and unique stream ID that allows to describe different processing levels, or resampled/filtered products of the same initial stream, without violating the intrinsic meaning of the legacy identifiers (network, station, channel, and location codes). However, for operation in the context of legacy systems, the classical identifier components are supported.

  Parameters: | network_code (str) Network code. station_code (str) Station code. location_code (str, optional) Location code. channel_code (str, optional) Channel code. resource_uri (`ResourceIdentifier`, optional) Resource identifier for the waveform stream. seed_string (str, optional) Provides an alternative initialization way by passing a SEED waveform string in the form network.station.location.channel, e.g. BW.FUR..EHZ, which will be used to populate the WaveformStreamID’s attributes. It will only be used if the network, station, location and channel keyword argument are ALL None.

  Example

      >>> # Can be initialized with a SEED string or with individual components.
      >>> stream_id = WaveformStreamID(network_code="BW", station_code="FUR",
      ...                              location_code="", channel_code="EHZ")
      >>> print(stream_id)
      WaveformStreamID
            network_code: 'BW'
            station_code: 'FUR'
            channel_code: 'EHZ'
           location_code: ''
      >>> stream_id = WaveformStreamID(seed_string="BW.FUR..EHZ")
      >>> print(stream_id)
      WaveformStreamID
            network_code: 'BW'
            station_code: 'FUR'
            channel_code: 'EHZ'
           location_code: ''
      >>> # Can also return the SEED string.
      >>> print(stream_id.get_seed_string())
      BW.FUR..EHZ
