Positional Arguments

identifier

The ProteomeXchange, PRIDE, or MassIVE identifier for the project.

files

One or more files to download. If none are provided, all files associated with the project are downloaded. Unix-style glob wildcards can be used, but they will need to be enclosed in quotation marks so as not to match files in your current working directory.

-t, --timeout

The maximum amount of time to wait for a server response.

-f, --force

Should ppx download files that are already present in the local data directory?

Default: False
