Copernicus Helper

This is a CLI Copernicus helper to make the life easier.

Envs

Instead of the local ~/.cdsapirc polluting your home folder, one can use environment variables:

• CDSAPI_URL to set the url
• CDSAPI_KEY to set the personal key
• CDSAPI_RC to set a curstom location for the configuration file

Setting url and key by env vars overwrite everything. Setting the config file by env var is the second choice Looking at ~/.cdsapirc is the fallback option.
