Reftek130 files - Quick way to retrieve only archive stats?

Usage Questions
1

Currently I us the obspy read method to get the stats of the Reftek130 file, example:
data = read(archive_file_path,format=“REFTEK130”)

		for i in range(0,len(data)):
			npts = data[i].stats.npts
			sr = data[i].stats.sampling_rate
			start_time = data[i].stats.starttime
			end_time = data[i].stats.endtime

This is understandably a slow method considering it is accessing the entire data block.
Is there a faster way to retrieve only the file stats?
Thank you

Please have a look at the documentation of read(). The headonly option might work for you.
