  api_token = getToken('07d4d584c04941a25e291feb8881c685','9ef6bbb24a855fbb765f3890e05592f4','localhost:3000/')
  ma <- MicroclimAPI$new(token = api_token,url_mc='http://localhost:3000/')

Put in extraction request

Gives the bounding box as region of interest, with date range and choice of variable.

  mr <- microclimRapi:::MicroclimRequest$new(
                  latS = 39.40012200014591,
                  latN=39.92132255884663,
                  lonW=-106.47674560546875,
                  lonE=-105.92193603515625,
                  variable="ALBEDO",
                  shadelevel=0,
                  hod=0,
                  interval=0,
                  aggregation=0,
                  stdate="19810101",
                  eddate="19810128",
                  file="csv")

  # place a request
  ext_req= ma$request(mr)
  print(toJSON(ext_req))

Checking the status of a request

Pass a request(aka tracking Id)

  requestId = '589292b9fccaf97e5a3cf472'
  request_status= ma$status(requestId)
  print(toJSON(request_status))
