-            that no datasets are eliminated based upon their instrument
-            value.<br>
-            <b>startDate</b> - a datetime specifying the start of a time
-            interval.  See module note about timezone value.  If this
-            parameter is ommited, the time interval will begin infinitely
-            in the past.<br>

-            interval.  See module note about timezone value.  If this
-            parameter is omitted, the time interval will end infinitely
-            in the future.<br>
-            <b>id</b> - a dataset identifier. The value may be a CDAS
-            (e.g., AC_H2_MFI), DOI (e.g., 10.48322/fh85-fj47), or SPASE

-            <b>idPattern</b> - a java.util.regex compatible regular

-            Omitting this parameter is equivalent to `.*`.<br>
-            <b>labelPattern</b> - a java.util.regex compatible regular
-            expression that must match the dataset's CDAS label text.
-            Omitting this parameter is equivalent to `.*`.  Embedded
-            matching flag expressions (e.g., `(?i)` for case insensitive
-            match mode) are supported and likely to be useful in this

-            <b>notesPattern</b> - a java.util.regex compatible regular

-        time1
-            when time0 is not one or more TimeInterval(s), the end time

-        keywords
-            optional keyword parameters as follows:<br>
-            <b>binData</b> - indicates that uniformly spaced values should
-            be computed for scaler/vector/spectrogram data according to
-            the given binning parameter values.  See
-            <https://cdaweb.gsfc.nasa.gov/CDAWeb_Binning_readme.html>
-            for more details.  binData is a Dict that
-            may contain the following keys: interval,
-            interpolateMissingValues, sigmaMultiplier, and/or
-            overrideDefaultBinning with values that override the
-            defaults.<br>
-            <b>dataRepresentation</b> - specifies the representation of
-            the returned data as one of
-            `datarepresentation.DataRepresentation`.<br>
-            <b>progressCallback</b> - is a
-            Callable[[float, str, typing.Any], int]
-            function that is called repeatedly to report the progress
-            of getting the data.  The function should return 0 if it
-            wants to continue getting data.  If it returns non-0 value,
-            getting the data will be aborted and the get_data() function
-            will immediately return (204, None).  The float parameter
-            is a value between 0.0 and 1.0 to indicate progress and
-            the str parameter will contain a text message indicating
-            the progress of this call.<br>
-            <b>progressUserValue</b> - is an Any value that is passsed
-            to the progressCallback function.<br>
-        Returns
-        -------
-        Tuple
-            [0] contains a dictionary of HTTP and CDAS status information.
-            When successful, ['http']['status_code'] will be 200.<br>
-            [1] contains the requested data (SpaceData or xarray.Dataset
-            object) or None.

-        ValueError
-            If no variables are given or if the given start/end datetime
