heliopy.data.util.load(filename, local_dir, remote_url, try_download=True, remote_error=False)¶

Parameters:

Parameters:	filename (string) – Name of file local_dir (string) – Local location of file remote_url (string) – Remote location of file try_download (bool) – If a file isn’t available locally, try to downloaded it. Default is True. remote_error (bool) – If `True`, raise an error if the requested file isn’t present locally or remotely. If `False`, the method returns `None` if the file can’t be found.
