ESO Science Archive Data Download
User-friendly public Python programming script for downloading data from the ESO science archive, maintained through Git.
Description
This script enables the user to download science and calibration files from the ESO science archive, in a fully automated process. Various forms of search criteria can be provided to identify the correct data, such as: Program ID, OBID, observation filter, data category (default is SCIENCE), and the number of files to select (in order of MJD_OBS). Then, if desirable, the associated files (such as calibration files) can be retrieved. Typically, the raw associated files are desired, but the user can instead ask to download the processed or log files. As an added option, the data can be organised into a directory tree inside the current directory.
