summary: Retrieve terminator coordinates
description: 'Retrieve coordinates for the terminator.
The timestamp parameter should be supplied in the format "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss".
UTC is the expected timezone.
The angle parameter is used for retrieving the terminator for civil, nautical,
or astronomical twilight. Use the values -6.0, -12.0, or -18.0 for each of these
terminators, respectively.
Notes:
- The algorithm does not account for altitude at this time
- By default requests are cached. Use the ''no_cache'' parameter to disable this functionality.'

tags:

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