Downloading waveforms for a single event about hinetpy HOT 4 CLOSED

Let me first explain how you can download event waveforms from the Hinet website:

1. Visit this page https://hinetwww11.bosai.go.jp/auth/download/event/?LANG=en
2. Select the event search parameter and click the "Event Search" button. Then you will see a table of available events:

So, the get_event_waveform does exactly the same thing and the ID shown on the Status page is the one used in _download_event_waveform. As you can see, the ID is unique for each request and it has nothing to do with any events.

Now I have downloaded a catalog of events, and I am trying to download waveforms corresponding to each event.

I think you have two options:

1. Use the get_continuous_waveform function (see https://seisman.github.io/HinetPy/examples/example2.html for an example)
2. Use the get_event_waveform function but use very strict search parameters to make sure only a single event is returned.

Thanks for the clear explanation. I am trying using get_event_waveform with very strict search parameters. It seems that the hypocenter information from the JMA unified catalog is slightly different from that on the Event Waveform Data Download page. If the search parameters for get_event_waveform are too strict, then no data can satisfy the conditions.

For example, for this event, the origin time is 2004-04-06T00:23:25.840000Z, the latitude is 35+3.75/60=35.0625, the longitude is 137.4888 and the depth is 29.87

The event from Event Waveform Data Download is

1. Use the get_continuous_waveform function (see https://seisman.github.io/HinetPy/examples/example2.html for an example)

Maybe this one is better.

Thank you. Using get_continuous_waveform is much slower, because too many waveforms are downloaded. I will use get_event_waveform with a small (but not too small) search region.

Maybe it would be better if get_event_waveform can return a list of directory names for successful downloads.
