Thanks for pointing it out, will try to use it when needed. I could put it on internet archive problem is it is updated in a daily basis so uploading to there we could more likely create a temporal analysis rather than use it for real. Other problem that some datasets are kind of big, between 1Gb and 300 Gb

I understand but the problem is that we need bots or someone will have to do it manually, and believe me we deal with a lot of layers, daily.

There are other methods to limit bad behavior like having usage limits and issuing a 429 too many requests in case of not respecting it.

For other countries to not access data, they could issue a api key or create a geofence to block external IP´s.

There are developer friendly ways to do it all, but it seems they are moving to a pattern to have massive amount of real people downloading the data instead of analyzing it, what a waste!
