Make sure your venv is ready, from within the project's folder:

$ easy_install virtualenv
$ mkdir ./virtualenvs
$ virtualenv ./virtualenvs/samdi

Activate and install reqs:

$ source virtualenvs/samdi/Scripts/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage:

$ python main.py 1-1-2018 4-1-2018 ./output.csv

Notes:

• Input dates expected to be in %m-%d-%Y format.
• Request might take a while since there's a sleep(5) after each request. Just to let the SAMDI server take a rest ;)
