        (http://service.iris.edu/irisws/timeseries/)- release 1.3.5
        (2012-06-07).

        This method fetches segments of seismic data and returns data formatted
        in either MiniSEED, ASCII or SAC. It can optionally filter the data.

        **Channel and temporal constraints (required)**

        The four SCNL parameters (Station - Channel - Network - Location) are
        used to determine the channel of interest, and are all required.
        Wildcards are not accepted.

        :type network: str
        :param network: Network code, e.g. ``'IU'``.
        :type station: str
        :param station: Station code, e.g. ``'ANMO'``.
        :type location: str
        :param location: Location code, e.g. ``'00'``

        :type endtime: :class:`~obspy.core.utcdatetime.UTCDateTime`
        :param endtime: End date and time.

        **Filter Options**

        The following parameters act as filters upon the time series.

        :type filter: list[str], optional
        :param filter: Filter list.  List order matters because each filter
            operation is performed in the order given. For example
            ``filter=["demean", "lp=2.0"]`` will demean and then apply a
            low-pass filter, while ``filter=["lp=2.0", "demean"]`` will apply
            the low-pass filter first, and then demean.

            ``"taper=WIDTH,TYPE"``
                Apply a time domain symmetric tapering function to the
                time series data. The width is specified as a fraction of the
                trace length from 0 to 0.5. The window types HANNING (default),
                HAMMING, or COSINE may be optionally followed, e.g.
                ``"taper=0.25"`` or ``"taper=0.5,COSINE"``.
            ``"envelope=true"``
                Calculate the envelope of the time series. This calculation
                uses a Hilbert transform approximated by a time domain filter.
            ``"lp=FREQ"``
                Low-pass filter the time-series using an IIR 4th order filter,
                using this value (in Hertz) as the cutoff, e.g. ``"lp=1.0"``.
            ``"hp=FREQ"``
                High-pass filter the time-series using an IIR 4th order filter,
                using this value (in Hertz) as the cutoff, e.g. ``"hp=3.0"``.
            ``"bp=FREQ1,FREQ2"``
                Band pass frequencies, in Hz, e.g. ``"bp=0.1,1.0"``.
            ``"demean"``
                Remove mean value from data.
            ``"scale"``
                Scale data samples by specified factor, e.g. ``"scale=2.0"``
                If ``"scale=AUTO"``, the data will be scaled by the stage-zero
                gain. Cannot specify both ``scale`` and ``divscale``.
                Cannot specify both ``correct`` and ``scale=AUTO``.
            ``"divscale"``
                Scale data samples by the inverse of the specified factor, e.g
                ``"divscale=2.0"``. You cannot specify both ``scale`` and
                ``divscale``.
            ``"correct"``
                Apply instrument correction to convert to earth units. Uses
                either deconvolution or polynomial response correction. Cannot
                specify both ``correct`` and ``scale=AUTO``. Correction
                on > 10^7 samples will result in an error. At a sample rate of
                20 Hz, 10^7 samples is approximately 5.8 days.
            ``"freqlimits=FREQ1,FREQ2,FREQ3,FREQ4"``
                Specify an envelope for a spectrum taper for deconvolution,
                e.g. ``"freqlimits=0.0033,0.004,0.05,0.06"``. Frequencies are
                specified in Hertz. This cosine taper scales the spectrum from
                0 to 1 between FREQ1 and FREQ2 and from 1 to 0 between FREQ3
                and FREQ4. Can only be used with the correct option. Cannot be
                used in combination with the ``autolimits`` option.
            ``"autolimits=X,Y"``
                Automatically determine frequency limits for deconvolution,
                e.g. ``"autolimits=3.0,3.0"``. A pass band is determined for
                all frequencies with the lower and upper corner cutoffs defined
                in terms of dB down from the maximum amplitude. This algorithm
                is designed to work with flat responses, i.e. a response in
                velocity for an instrument which is flat to velocity. Other
                combinations will likely result in unsatisfactory results.
                Cannot be used in combination with the ``freqlimits`` option.
            ``"units=UNIT"``
                Specify output units. Can be DIS, VEL, ACC or DEF, where DEF
                results in no unit conversion, e.g. ``"units=VEL"``. Option
                ``units`` can only be used with ``correct``.
            ``"diff"``
                Differentiate using 2 point (uncentered) method
            ``"int"``
                Integrate using trapezoidal (midpoint) method
            ``"decimate=SAMPLERATE"``
                Specify the sample-rate to decimate to, e.g.
                ``"decimate=2.0"``. The sample-rate of the source divided by
                the given sample-rate must be factorable by 2,3,4,7.

        **Miscelleneous options**

        :type filename: str, optional
        :param filename: Name of a output file. If this parameter is given
            nothing will be returned. Default is ``None``.
        :type output: str, optional
        :param output: Output format if parameter ``filename`` is used.

            ``'ascii'``

            ``'ascii2'``
                ASCII data format, 2 columns (time, value)

        **Geographical Parameters - required**

        The travel time web service requires a great-circle distance between an
        event and station be specified. There are three methods of specifying
        this distance:

        * Specify a great-circle distance in degrees, using ``distdeg``
        * Specify a great-circle distance in kilometers, using ``distkm``
        * Specify an event location and one or more station locations,
          using ``evloc`` and ``staloc``

        :type distdeg: float or list[float], optional
        :param evtlon: Great-circle distance from source to station, in decimal
            degrees. Multiple distances may be specified as a list.
        :type distkm: float or list[float], optional
        :param distkm: Distance between the source and station, in kilometers.
            Multiple distances may be specified as a list.
        :type evloc: tuple(float, float), optional
        :param evloc: The Event location (lat,lon) using decimal degrees.
        :type staloc: tuple(float, float) or list[tuple(float, float)],
            optional
        :param staloc: Station locations for which the phases will be listed.
            The general format is (lat,lon). Specify multiple station locations
            with a list, e.g. ``[(lat1,lon1),(lat2,lon2),...,(latn,lonn)]``.

        **Output Parameters**

        :type noheader: bool, optional
        :param noheader: Specifying noheader will strip the header from the
            resulting table. Defaults to ``False``.
        :type traveltimeonly: bool, optional
        :param traveltimeonly: Returns a space-separated list of travel
            times, in seconds. Defaults to ``False``.

            .. note:: Travel times are produced in ascending order regardless
                of the order in which the phases are specified

        :type rayparamonly: bool, optional
        :param rayparamonly: Returns a space-separated list of ray parameters,
            in sec/deg.. Defaults to ``False``.
        :type mintimeonly: bool, optional
        :param mintimeonly: Returns only the first arrival of each phase for
            each distance. Defaults to ``False``.
        :type filename: str, optional
        :param filename: Name of a output file. If this parameter is given
            nothing will be returned. Default is ``None``.

        Low-level interface for `evalresp` Web service of IRIS
        (http://service.iris.edu/irisws/evalresp/) - release 1.0.0
        (2011-08-11).

        This method evaluates instrument response information stored at the
        IRIS DMC and outputs ASCII data or
        `Bode Plots <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bode_plots>`_.

        :type network: str
        :param network: Network code, e.g. ``'IU'``.
        :type station: str
        :param station: Station code, e.g. ``'ANMO'``.
        :type location: str
        :param location: Location code, e.g. ``'00'``. Use ``'--'`` for empty
            location codes.
        :type channel: str
        :param channel: Channel code, e.g. ``'BHZ'``.
        :type time: :class:`~obspy.core.utcdatetime.UTCDateTime`
        :param time: Evaluate the response at the given time. If not specified,
            the current time is used.
        :type minfreq: float, optional
        :param minfreq: The minimum frequency (Hz) at which response will be
            evaluated. Must be positive and less than the ``maxfreq`` value.
            Defaults to ``0.00001`` Hz (1/day ~ 0.000012 Hz).
        :type maxfreq: float, optional
        :param maxfreq: The maximum frequency (Hz) at which response will be
            evaluated. Must be positive and greater than the ``minfreq`` value.
            Defaults to the channel sample-rate or the frequency of
            sensitivity, which ever is larger.
        :type nfreq: int, optional
        :param nfreq: Number frequencies at which response will be evaluated.
            Must be a positive integer no greater than ``10000``. The
            instrument response is evaluated on a equally spaced logarithmic
            scale. Defaults to ``200``.
        :type units:  str, optional
        :param units: Output Unit. Defaults to ``'def'``.

            ``'def'``
                default units indicated in response metadata
            ``'dis'``
                converts to units of displacement
            ``'vel'``
                converts to units of velocity
            ``'acc'``
                converts to units of acceleration

            If units are not specified, then the units will default to those
            indicated in the response metadata
        :type width: int, optional
        :param width: The width of the generated plot. Defaults to ``800``.
            Can only be used with the ``output='plot'``, ``output='plot-amp'``
            and ``output='plot-phase'`` options. Cannot be larger than ``5000``
            and the product of width and height cannot be larger than
            ``6,000,000``.
        :type height: int, optional
        :param height: The height of the generated plot. Defaults to ``600``.
            Can only be used with the ``output='plot'``, ``output='plot-amp'``
            and ``output='plot-phase'`` options. Cannot be larger than ``5000``
            and the product of width and height cannot be larger than
            ``6,000,000``.
        :type annotate: bool, optional
        :param annotate: Can be either ``True`` or ``False``. Defaults
            to ``True``.

            * Draws vertical lines at the Nyquist frequency (one half the
              sample rate).
            * Draw a vertical line at the stage-zero frequency of sensitivity.
            * Draws a horizontal line at the stage-zero gain.

            Can only be used with the ``output='plot'``, ``output='plot-amp'``
            and ``output='plot-phase'`` options.
        :type output: str
        :param output: Output Options. Defaults to ``'plot'``.

            ``'fap'``
                Three column ASCII (frequency, amplitude, phase)
            ``'cs'``
                Three column ASCII (frequency, real, imaginary)
            ``'plot'``
                Amplitude and phase plot
            ``'plot-amp'``
                Amplitude only plot
            ``'plot-phase'``
                Phase only plot

            Plots are stored to the file system if the parameter ``filename``
            is set, otherwise it will try to use matplotlib to directly plot
            the returned image.
        :type filename: str, optional
        :param filename: Name of a output file. If this parameter is given
            nothing will be returned. Default is ``None``.
        :rtype: :class:`numpy.ndarray`, str or `None`
        :returns: Returns either a NumPy :class:`~numpy.ndarray`, image string
            or nothing, depending on the ``output`` parameter.
