goesdownloader

If you want to improve this library, you should download the github repository and execute:

On Ubuntu Desktop there are some other libraries not installed by default (zlibc curl libssl1.0.0 libbz2-dev libxslt-dev libxml-dev) which may need to be installed to use these library. Use the next command to automate the installation of the additional C libraries:

    should_download = lambda dt: dt.hour - 4 >= 5 and dt.hour - 4 <= 20
    downloaded = instrument.download('user', 'password', 'directory',
                                     suscription_id='55253',
