Description

The RESP webservice gives access to instrument response information. The response information is returned in the RESP format. The service can return responses for a channel, one or more channels under a location, or one or more channels under a station.

The service can be easily invoked by using the unix curl and wget commands.

$ curl -o UW.LON.--.EHZ.resp "http://service.iris.edu/irisws/resp/1/query?net=UW&sta=LON&loc=++&cha=EHZ"

Make sure to surround the url with quotes or your unix shell will interpret the & characters as background control characters.

With recent versions of wget you can use the content-disposition flag to have the file saved to an automatic name.

$ wget --content-disposition "http://service.iris.edu/irisws/resp/1/query?net=UW&sta=LON&loc=++&cha=EHZ"
