summary: Retrieve terminator coordinates
description: "Retrieve coordinates for the terminator. \n\nThe timestamp parameter should be supplied in the format \"YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss\". \nUTC is the expected timezone.\n\nThe angle parameter is used for retrieving the terminator for civil, nautical, \nor astronomical twilight. Use the values -6.0, -12.0, or -18.0 for each of these \nterminators, respectively.\n\nNotes:\n - The algorithm does not account for altitude at this time\n - By default requests are cached. Use the 'no_cache' parameter to disable this functionality."

summary: Retrieve geomagnetic coordinate grid
description: "Retrieve a geomagnetic coordinate grid for a given timestamp.\n\nThe timestamp parameter should be supplied in the format \"YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss\". \nUTC is the expected timezone.\n\nThe grid consists of meridian lines (constant magnetic longitude, \"vertical\") and parallel lines\n(constant magnetic latitude, \"horizontal\") for both northern and southern hemispheres.\n\nNotes\n - The resolution_lon and resolution_lat parameters control the spacing (in degrees) between\nmagnetic longitude and latitude lines, respectively. Lower values produce a denser grid.\n - By default requests are cached. Use the 'no_cache' parameter to disable this functionality."
