Stations Metadata

To list CoCoRaHS stations metadata for the default state (NM) the following command is issued:

$ python -m cocorahs_dlt stations

To save the output of this operation, run:

$ python -m cocorahs_dlt stations > stations.csv

To download and save CoCoRaHS stations metadata for a different state (specified by the two-character state code), the following command is issued:

$ python -m cocorahs_dlt --state CO stations > stations.csv

Stations Data

To list CoCoRaHS stations data for the default state (NM), the default date range (last three days), and the default output (CSV) the following command is issued:

$ python -m cocorahs_dlt data

To save the output of this operation, run:

$ python -m cocorahs_dlt data > data.csv

To download and save CoCoRaHS stations data for a different state (specified by the two-character state code), the following command is issued:

$ python -m cocorahs_dlt --state CO data > data.csv

To download and save CoCoRaHS stations data for a different state (specified by the two-character state code) and in a different output format, the following command is issued:

$ python -m cocorahs_dlt --state CO data --format XML > data.xml

To download and save CoCoRaHS stations data for a different state (specified by the two-character state code) in a different output format, and with volunteer comments, the following command is issued:

$ python -m cocorahs_dlt --state CO data --format XML --comments > data.xml

To download and save CoCoRaHS stations data for a different state (specified by the two-character state code) in a different output format, with volunteer comments, and for a different date range, the following command is issued:

$ python -m cocorahs_dlt --state CO data --format XML --comments --start_date 2014-09-13 --end_date 2014-09-21 > data.xml

To only list the data from the previous command, the > data.xml text is dropped:

$ python -m cocorahs_dlt --state CO data --format XML --comments --start_date 2014-09-13 --end_date 2014-09-21
