            when a redirect is discovered. This is done to improve security.

        :param longitude: Specify the longitude to be used for a radius
            search.
        :type minradius: float
        :param minradius: Limit results to stations within the specified
            minimum number of degrees from the geographic point defined by the
            latitude and longitude parameters.

        :param maxradius: Limit results to stations within the specified
            maximum number of degrees from the geographic point defined by the
            latitude and longitude parameters.
        :type level: str
        :param level: Specify the level of detail for the results ("network",
            "station", "channel", "response"), e.g. specify "response" to get
            full information including instrument response for each channel.
        :type includerestricted: bool
        :param includerestricted: Specify if results should include information
            for restricted stations.
        :type includeavailability: bool
        :param includeavailability: Specify if results should include
            information about time series data availability.
        :type updatedafter: :class:`~obspy.core.utcdatetime.UTCDateTime`

            updates are data center specific.

            series data is available.
        :type filename: str or file
        :param filename: If given, the downloaded data will be saved there
            instead of being parsed to an ObsPy object. Thus it will contain
            the raw data from the webservices.
        :type format: str
        :param format: The format in which to request station information.
            ``"xml"`` (StationXML) or ``"text"`` (FDSN station text format).
            XML has more information but text is much faster.

        Any additional keyword arguments will be passed to the webservice as
        additional arguments. If you pass one of the default parameters and the
        webservice does not support it, a warning will be issued. Passing any
        non-default parameters that the webservice does not support will raise
        an error.
