salesforce-reporting-chunked

Get > 2000 rows from Your Date-Sortable Salesforce Reports

salesforce-reporting-chunks is a wrapper around cghall's salesforce-reporting module. The Salesforce API limits output to 2000 rows for a given report. salesforce-reporting-chunked works around this limitation by returning a generator that simply pulls a date range from your report a given number of days at a time.
