Get the list of all sites

• deims.getListOfSites()

Get a particular site record by its DEIMS.ID (multiple formats of the DEIMS.ID are accepted)

• deims.getSiteById(site_id="deims.org/8eda49e9-1f4e-4f3e-b58e-e0bb25dc32a6")
• deims.getSiteById("1b94503d-285c-4028-a3db-bc78e31dea07")

Get all sites on DEIMS within 30km of latitude 47.84, longitude 14.44
