EORA 26 automatic downloader

[morandd]

You can add the ?user=X&pass=Y to the url query string for Eora26 (and any permission-protected download at the Eora website) as well.

eora26 now requires a login to download the files.
short term solution

• remove the downloader (code and documentation)

than

• check if login is possible through python :

  • https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45107839/python-login-and-download-specific-file-from-website
  • http://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/user/authentication/#basic-authentication

• implement the same for exiobase if possible

Thanks for making pymrio available! I'm looking into using it to work with EORA data.

If this issue is still of interest - according to the EORA docs at https://worldmrio.com/countrywise/ it's possible to pass a username and password as URL GET parameters for authentication, like:

 curl 'https://worldmrio.com/ComputationsM/Phase199/Loop082/simplified/[email protected]&pass=examplepassword' > Eora26_2016_bp.zip

Which seems to work fine in my quick testing.
