        start="2025-06-20 08:00:00",
        end="2025-06-20 09:00:00",
        interval=600,
        read_type=ReaderType.RAW,
        output=OutputFormat.DATAFRAME,
    )

    print(df)
    # Connection automatically closed
```

---

## Usage Examples

### Reading Aggregates Data

The aggregates reader types (AVG, MIN, MAX, RNG) query the IP.21 aggregates table for period-based statistics.

#### Average Values Over Time Intervals

```python
from aspy21 import AspenClient, ReaderType, OutputFormat

with AspenClient(
    base_url="https://aspen.example.com/ProcessData",
    auth=("user", "password"),
    datasource="IP21"
) as client:
    # Get 10-minute averages for a 1-hour period
    df = client.read(
        ["REACTOR_TEMP", "REACTOR_PRESSURE"],
        start="2025-01-15 08:00:00",
        end="2025-01-15 09:00:00",
        interval=600,  # 10 minutes (600 seconds)
        read_type=ReaderType.AVG,
        output=OutputFormat.DATAFRAME
    )
    # Returns 6 rows (one average per 10-minute interval)
    print(df)
```

#### Single Aggregate Value for Entire Period

```python
# Get a single average value over 24 hours (no interval)
with AspenClient(
    base_url="https://aspen.example.com/ProcessData",
    auth=("user", "password"),
    datasource="IP21"
) as client:
    data = client.read(
        ["REACTOR_TEMP"],
        start="2025-01-15 00:00:00",
        end="2025-01-16 00:00:00",
        read_type=ReaderType.AVG,  # No interval specified
        output=OutputFormat.JSON
    )
    # Returns: [{"timestamp": "...", "tag": "REACTOR_TEMP", "value": 285.4}]
    print(f"24-hour average: {data[0]['value']}")
```

#### Minimum and Maximum Values

```python
# Find daily min/max temperatures
with AspenClient(
    base_url="https://aspen.example.com/ProcessData",
    auth=("user", "password"),
    datasource="IP21"
) as client:
    # Minimum values per hour
    min_df = client.read(
        ["REACTOR_TEMP"],
        start="2025-01-15 00:00:00",
        end="2025-01-16 00:00:00",
        interval=3600,  # 1 hour
        read_type=ReaderType.MIN,
        output=OutputFormat.DATAFRAME
    )

    # Maximum values per hour
    max_df = client.read(
        ["REACTOR_TEMP"],
        start="2025-01-15 00:00:00",
        end="2025-01-16 00:00:00",
        interval=3600,
        read_type=ReaderType.MAX,
        output=OutputFormat.DATAFRAME
    )

    print(f"Hourly minimums:\n{min_df}")
    print(f"Hourly maximums:\n{max_df}")
```

#### Range (Max - Min) Values

```python
# Calculate hourly temperature ranges (variability)
with AspenClient(
    base_url="https://aspen.example.com/ProcessData",
    auth=("user", "password"),
    datasource="IP21"
) as client:
    df = client.read(
        ["REACTOR_TEMP", "COLUMN_TEMP"],
        start="2025-01-15 00:00:00",
        end="2025-01-15 12:00:00",
        interval=3600,  # 1 hour
        read_type=ReaderType.RNG,  # Range = Max - Min
        output=OutputFormat.DATAFRAME
    )
    # Shows temperature variability over each hour
    print(df)
```

#### Combining Multiple Aggregate Types

```python
# Get comprehensive statistics for a process variable
with AspenClient(
    base_url="https://aspen.example.com/ProcessData",
    auth=("user", "password"),
    datasource="IP21"
) as client:

    period_start = "2025-01-15 08:00:00"
    period_end = "2025-01-15 16:00:00"

    # Get all statistics for 1-hour intervals
    avg = client.read([tag], start=period_start, end=period_end,
                      interval=3600, read_type=ReaderType.AVG)
    min_vals = client.read([tag], start=period_start, end=period_end,
                           interval=3600, read_type=ReaderType.MIN)
    max_vals = client.read([tag], start=period_start, end=period_end,
                           interval=3600, read_type=ReaderType.MAX)
    rng = client.read([tag], start=period_start, end=period_end,
                      interval=3600, read_type=ReaderType.RNG)

    # Combine into analysis
    import pandas as pd
    stats = pd.DataFrame({
        'avg': [d['value'] for d in avg],
        'min': [d['value'] for d in min_vals],
        'max': [d['value'] for d in max_vals],
        'range': [d['value'] for d in rng],
    })
    print(stats)

## Authentication

### HTTP Basic Authentication

```python
with AspenClient(
    base_url="https://aspen.example.com/ProcessData",
    auth=("user", "password"),
    datasource="IP21"  # Required for historical reads
) as client:
    # Your code here
    pass
```

### No Authentication

For public or internal endpoints:

```python
with AspenClient(
    base_url="http://aspen.example.com/ProcessData",
    datasource="IP21"  # Required for historical reads
) as client:
    # Your code here
    pass
```

---

## Caching

### Overview

Built-in caching layer reduces API load by 60-80% and improves performance by 10-100x for repeated queries. The cache uses TTL (Time-To-Live) + LRU (Least Recently Used) eviction and is fully thread-safe.

### Smart Caching Strategy

- **Historical data** (past data): Long TTL (24 hours) - this data doesn't change
- **Search results**: Medium TTL (1 hour) - metadata changes infrequently
- **Aggregates**: Long TTL (24 hours) - computed values are stable
- **Snapshots**: Short TTL (1 minute) - current values change frequently
- **Current data**: Not cached with long TTL - data is volatile

### Enabling Cache

#### Basic Usage (Default Configuration)

```python
from aspy21 import AspenClient

# Enable caching with defaults
with AspenClient(
    base_url="https://aspen.example.com/ProcessData",
    auth=("user", "password"),
    cache=True  # Enable with default settings
) as client:
    # First read hits API
    data1 = client.read(["TAG1"], start="2025-01-01 08:00:00", end="2025-01-01 09:00:00")

    # Second identical read hits cache (10-100x faster!)
    data2 = client.read(["TAG1"], start="2025-01-01 08:00:00", end="2025-01-01 09:00:00")

    # Check cache statistics
    stats = client.get_cache_stats()
    print(f"Cache hit rate: {stats['hit_rate_percent']}%")
```

#### Custom Configuration

```python
from aspy21 import AspenClient, CacheConfig

# Configure cache with custom TTLs and size
config = CacheConfig(
    enabled=True,
    max_size=500,           # Limit to 500 cached entries
    ttl_historical=7200,    # 2 hours for historical data
    ttl_search=1800,        # 30 minutes for search results
    ttl_snapshot=30,        # 30 seconds for current values
    ttl_aggregates=7200,    # 2 hours for aggregates
)

with AspenClient(
    base_url="https://aspen.example.com/ProcessData",
    auth=("user", "password"),
    cache=config  # Use custom configuration
) as client:
    # Your code here
    pass
```

#### Share Cache Across Clients

```python
from aspy21 import AspenClient, AspenCache

# Create a shared cache instance
shared_cache = AspenCache()

# Use same cache for multiple clients
with AspenClient(base_url=url1, cache=shared_cache) as client1:
    with AspenClient(base_url=url2, cache=shared_cache) as client2:
        # Both clients share the same cache
        client1.read([...])
        client2.read([...])

        # Combined statistics
        stats = shared_cache.get_stats()
```

### Cache Management

#### Get Statistics

```python
stats = client.get_cache_stats()
print(f"Cache size: {stats['size']} entries")
print(f"Hit rate: {stats['hit_rate_percent']}%")
print(f"Hits: {stats['hits']}, Misses: {stats['misses']}")
```

#### Clear Cache

```python
# Clear all cached entries
count = client.clear_cache()
print(f"Cleared {count} entries")
```

#### Invalidate Specific Entries

```python
# Invalidate cache for specific tags/time range
count = client.invalidate_cache(
    tags=["TAG1", "TAG2"],
    start="2025-01-01 00:00:00",
    end="2025-01-01 01:00:00"
)
```

### Performance Benefits

**Typical Performance Improvements:**
- API calls reduced by 60-80% for repeated queries
- Query response time: 10-100x faster for cached data
- Network traffic significantly reduced
- Server load reduced

**Example Timing:**
```python
import time

with AspenClient(base_url=url, auth=auth, cache=True) as client:
    # First call - hits API (~500ms)
    start = time.time()
    df1 = client.read(["TAG1"], start="2025-01-01 08:00:00", end="2025-01-01 09:00:00")
    api_time = time.time() - start
    print(f"API call: {api_time:.3f}s")

    # Second call - from cache (~5ms)
    start = time.time()
    df2 = client.read(["TAG1"], start="2025-01-01 08:00:00", end="2025-01-01 09:00:00")
    cache_time = time.time() - start
    print(f"Cache hit: {cache_time:.3f}s ({api_time/cache_time:.0f}x faster!)")
```

### Cache Behavior Details

**What Gets Cached:**
- Historical data reads (data older than 1 minute)
- Search results (tag names and metadata)
- Aggregate queries (AVG, MIN, MAX, RNG)

**What Does NOT Get Cached (or uses short TTL):**
- Current/recent data (within last 1 minute)
- Snapshot reads (short 1-minute TTL)
- Failed requests or errors

**Thread Safety:**
- All cache operations are thread-safe
- Can be safely used in multi-threaded applications
- No data corruption or race conditions

**Memory Management:**
- LRU eviction when max_size reached
- Automatic cleanup of expired entries
- Configurable size limits prevent memory issues

| `tag` | str | `"*"` | Tag name pattern with wildcards (`*`, `?`) |
| `description` | str\|None | None | Description filter (case-insensitive). Uses SQL endpoint when provided. |
| `case_sensitive` | bool | False | Case-sensitive tag matching (Browse endpoint only) |
| `limit` | int | 10000 | Max results (search mode) or max rows per tag (hybrid mode) |
| `start` | str\|None | None | **Triggers hybrid mode**: Start timestamp for data retrieval |
| `end` | str\|None | None | End timestamp (defaults to current time if omitted) |
| `interval` | int\|None | None | Interval in seconds for aggregated data |
| `read_type` | ReaderType | INT | Data retrieval mode for hybrid mode |
| `include` | IncludeFields | NONE | Fields to include (NONE, STATUS, DESCRIPTION, ALL) |
| `output` | OutputFormat | JSON | Output format (JSON or DATAFRAME) |

**Returns**:
- **Search-only mode** (no `start`):
  - If `include=NONE` or `STATUS`: List of tag name strings
  - If `include=DESCRIPTION` or `ALL`: List of dicts with 'name' and 'description'
- **Hybrid mode** (with `start`):
  - If `output=JSON`: List of dicts with timestamp, tag, value, and optional fields
  - If `output=DATAFRAME`: pandas DataFrame

**Requirements**:
- `datasource` must be configured in AspenClient

**Modes**:
1. **Search-only** (no `start`): Find tags matching criteria
2. **Hybrid mode** (with `start`): Search for tags AND read their data in one call

**Wildcards**:
- `*` - Matches any number of characters
- `?` - Matches exactly one character

**Examples**:
```python
# Search-only: Get tag names (default)
tag_names = client.search("TEMP*")
# Returns: ["TEMP_101", "TEMP_102", ...]

# Search-only: Get tags with descriptions
tags = client.search("TEMP*", include=IncludeFields.DESCRIPTION)
# Returns: [{"name": "TEMP_101", "description": "Reactor temp"}, ...]

# Hybrid mode: Search and read data in one call
df = client.search(
    "TEMP*",
    start="2025-01-01 00:00:00",
    end="2025-01-01 01:00:00",
    output=OutputFormat.DATAFRAME
)
# Returns: DataFrame with data for all TEMP* tags

# Search by description (SQL endpoint)
tags = client.search(description="reactor", include=IncludeFields.DESCRIPTION)

# Combine pattern and description
tags = client.search("AI_1*", description="pressure", include=IncludeFields.DESCRIPTION)
```

### Enums

#### ReaderType

Data retrieval modes:

- `ReaderType.RAW` - Raw data points as stored in historian
- `ReaderType.INT` - Interpolated values at specified intervals (default)
- `ReaderType.SNAPSHOT` - Current snapshot of tag values
- `ReaderType.AVG` - Average values from aggregates table (with/without interval)
- `ReaderType.MIN` - Minimum value over the period (from aggregates table)
- `ReaderType.MAX` - Maximum value over the period (from aggregates table)
- `ReaderType.RNG` - Range (max-min) over the period (from aggregates table)

**Aggregates types** (AVG, MIN, MAX, RNG) query the `aggregates` table with the period automatically calculated in tenths of seconds:
- **Without interval**: `period = (end - start) * 10` → returns 1 aggregate value for entire range
- **With interval**: `period = interval * 10` → returns multiple values (one per interval period)

Example: A 24-hour period becomes `864000` tenths of seconds (24 × 60 × 60 × 10), while a 10-minute interval becomes `6000` (600 × 10).

#### IncludeFields

Controls which optional fields to include in responses:

- `IncludeFields.NONE` - Include only timestamp and value (default)
- `IncludeFields.STATUS` - Include status/quality codes
- `IncludeFields.DESCRIPTION` - Include tag descriptions
- `IncludeFields.ALL` - Include both status and description

#### OutputFormat

Controls output format:

- `OutputFormat.JSON` - Return as list of dictionaries (default)
- `OutputFormat.DATAFRAME` - Return as pandas DataFrame

**Examples**:
```python
from aspy21 import AspenClient, IncludeFields, OutputFormat, ReaderType

# AVG with interval: returns multiple average values (one per interval)
df = client.read(
    ["TAG1", "TAG2"],
    start="2025-01-01 00:00:00",
    end="2025-01-01 01:00:00",
    read_type=ReaderType.AVG,
    interval=600,  # 10-minute averages - returns 6 values (60min / 10min)
    include=IncludeFields.ALL,
    output=OutputFormat.DATAFRAME
)

# AVG without interval: returns single aggregate value for entire period
avg_value = client.read(
    ["TAG1"],
    start="2025-01-01 00:00:00",
    end="2025-01-02 00:00:00",
    read_type=ReaderType.AVG,  # Single average over 24 hours
    output=OutputFormat.JSON
)
# Returns: [{"timestamp": "...", "tag": "TAG1", "value": 42.5}]

# Other aggregates (MIN/MAX/RNG) work the same way
min_value = client.read(
    ["TAG1"],
    start="2025-01-01 00:00:00",
    end="2025-01-02 00:00:00",
    read_type=ReaderType.MIN,  # Minimum value over 24 hours
    output=OutputFormat.JSON
)
```

## Configuration

### Connection Settings

```python
with AspenClient(
    base_url="https://aspen.example.com/ProcessData",
    auth=("user", "password"),
    timeout=60.0,           # Request timeout (seconds)
    verify_ssl=True,        # SSL certificate verification
    datasource="IP21"       # Required for search operations
) as client:
    # Your code here
    pass
```

### Retry Behavior

The client automatically retries failed requests with exponential backoff:

- Maximum attempts: 3
- Initial delay: 0.5 seconds
- Maximum delay: 8 seconds

## Error Handling

```python
from aspy21 import AspenClient, OutputFormat
import httpx

try:
    with AspenClient(
        base_url="https://aspen.example.com/ProcessData",
        auth=("user", "password"),
        datasource="IP21"
    ) as client:
        df = client.read(
            ["ATI111"],
            start="2025-06-20 08:00:00",
            end="2025-06-20 09:00:00",
            output=OutputFormat.DATAFRAME,
        )
except httpx.HTTPStatusError as e:
    print(f"HTTP error: {e.response.status_code}")
except httpx.RequestError as e:
    print(f"Connection error: {e}")
```
