Thanks! The paths list was exactly what I needed - how did you get those?

2016-05-24 12:39:07 -0500 asked a question How can I automate downloads of weather data from EnergyPlus with Python?

I am looking to script downloads from energyplus.net – I want to automate the download of an epw weather file by location – a process you can perform manually on the energyplus.net site under the Weather tab. I don't need to utilize Energy Plus's simulation capabilities, I just want the raw data. I am still new to scripting, but I assume that I need the site's API. I have already done this with mesonet.agron.iastate.edu, but energy plus has more of the data I need.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
