title: How to download ERA-Interim data from the ECMWF data archive using R?
body: <p>I am now working on the ERA-Interim daily precipitation data and I want to download the data in a programming way so I do not need to download the data one by one.</p>
  
  <p>I have found a tutorial on how to download the data using Python <a href="https://software.ecmwf.int/wiki/display/CKB/How+to+download+ERA-Interim+data+from+the+ECMWF+data+archive" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://software.ecmwf.int/wiki/display/CKB/How+to+download+ERA-Interim+data+from+the+ECMWF+data+archive</a>, however, as I am not familiar with Python, I wonder if there is any way to use R instead? </p>
