fdsnws2seed can be used to obtain full SEED and dataless SEED data with EIDA FDSN web services. Usage of fdsnws2seed is recommended when SEED format is required for compatibility with old applications. New applications should use FDSN StationXML instead of SEED.

Installation

The current (beta) version of fdsnws2seed is available from Github only and can be installed as follows:

$ git clone https://github.com/GEOFON/fdsnws_scripts
$ cd fdsnws_scripts && for f in *.py; do chmod a+x $f; ln -s $f `basename $f .py`; done
