# Import functions of interest from climakitae
from climakitae.core.data_interface import (
    get_data_options, 
    get_subsetting_options, 
    get_data
)

# See all the data catalog options as a pandas DataFrame object
get_data_options()

# See all the area subset options for retrieving a spatial subset of the catalog data
get_subsetting_options()

# Retrieve data for a single variable for the state of California
get_data(
    variable = "Precipitation (total)", 
    downscaling_method = "Dynamical", 
    resolution = "9 km", 
    timescale = "monthly", 
    scenario = "SSP 3-7.0 -- Business as Usual",
    cached_area = "CA"
)

If you want to use graphic user interfaces to retrieve and view data visualization options (among other features), you'll need to import our sister package climakitaegui, which works in tandem with climakitae to produce interactive GUIs. See climakitaegui for more information on how to use this library.
