Introduction

The ado-downloader automates big data downloads from the Copernicus Climate Data Store. Based on the cdsapi package, it enables you, to automatically chunk big download requests into parallel processed sub requests.

Configuration

The downloader is based on the cdsapi and therefore also uses its authentication method. In order to use the downloader, one has to create a file with user credentials api-how-to in the home directory. Alternatively, define two environment variables ‘CDSAPI_URL’ and ‘CDSAPI_KEY’ with the same user credentials. Either way, one needs a cds.climate.copernicus.eu user account in order to use the downloader.
