Submit a download job for a dataset — cds_submit

Submit a request to the Copernicus Climate Data Service to download (part of) a dataset. If the request is successful, a job identifier is returned which can be used to actually download the data (cds_download_jobs()).

Usage

cds_submit_job(
  dataset,
  ...,
  wait = TRUE,
  check_quota = TRUE,
  check_licence = TRUE,
  token = cds_get_token()
)

Arguments

dataset: The dataset name to be downloaded
...: Subsetting parameters passed onto cds_build_request().
wait: A logical value indicating if the function should wait for the submitted job to finish. Set it to FALSE to continue without waiting
check_quota: Each account has a quota of data that can be downloaded. If this argument is set to TRUE (default) it is checked if the request doesn't exceed your quota. Set it to FALSE to skip this step and speed up the submission.
check_licence: Datasets generally require you to accept certain terms of use. If this argument is set to TRUE (default), it will be checked if you have accepted all required licences for the submitted request. Set it to FALSE to skip this step and speed up the submission.
token: An API key to be used for authentication. Will use cds_get_token() by default.

Value

Returns a data.frame containing information about the submitted job.

Examples

if (interactive() && cds_token_works()) {
  job <- cds_submit_job(
      dataset        = "reanalysis-era5-pressure-levels",
      variable       = "geopotential",
      product_type   = "reanalysis",
      area           = c(n = 55, w = -1, s = 50, e = 10),
      year           = "2024",
      month          = "03",
      day            = "01",
      pressure_level = "1000",
