PAGASA Archiver

The PAGASA Archiver is a CLI tool and library for pulling bulletins and advisories from the DOST-PAGASA's pubfiles website (pubfiles.pagasa.dost.gov.ph).

                                    into the PAR. Storms with unknown names are
                                    marked "Unnamed". [boolean] [default: false]
  -d, --download                    Whether to download bulletins and advisories

                                                       [boolean] [default: null]
      --tcb, --tcbs, --tcbs-only    When enabled, only TCBs are processed,
                                    unless --tca is also supplied.
                                                       [boolean] [default: null]
      --index                       The index URL to use. Use this when

                                    DOST-PAGASA pubfiles website, or in
                                    automated scripts as a backup if the
                                    DOST-PAGASA pubfiles website is
                                    inaccessible. This sets the index for both
                                    TCAs and TCBs, use --index-tca and
                                    --index-tcb for more fine tuning.   [string]
      --index-tca                   The index URL to use for tropical cyclone
                                    advisories. See --index for more details.

                                    Actual output is still logged through
