rg_rebecka_get: Download REBECKA station data

In sitscholl/Rgadgets: Contains various utility functions developed during the PhD

Description

These functions download station data from the REBECKA stations using an API to the pessl database. The function rg_rebecka_ids can be used to request the available station ids which are in turn used in the function rg_rebecka_get to download data for a desired time period. Data from the stations is available from 2017 - 2020 in 10 minute (raw), hourly and daily resolution. Downloading requires a public and private Key. The functions internally use the package reticulate to source a python script and connect to the API. The python script was written in python 2.7, it is not guaranteed to work with newer python versions.

Usage

rg_rebecka_get(
  station_code,
  publicKey = "056c0e506344aff17f6b60237d9dabcb87f1e8b4",
  privateKey,
  datestart = Sys.Date() - 1,
  dateend = Sys.Date(),
  url = "https://api.fieldclimate.com/v1",
  time_res = "raw",
  progress = T
)

rg_rebecka_codes(
  publicKey = "056c0e506344aff17f6b60237d9dabcb87f1e8b4",
  privateKey,
  url = "https://api.fieldclimate.com/v1"
)
