  • end (str, optional) – End date in YYYY-MM format (e.g. ‘2020-12’) Used in conjunction with start parameter to download a range of available data

  • tmi (int) – Temporal index (tmi)for instrument data (e.g. 1 for minute observations, 30 for 30 min, observations, etc.)

  • outdir (str, optional) – Output directory for downloaded data. If left empty, data will not be saved.
