Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Get irradiance via Solcast API

Describe the solution you'd like
Use iotools to get irradiance data from Solcast

Describe alternatives you've considered
Solcast already has an API toolkit. Is irons redundant?

This could be expanded to include other APIs, such as Solargis (https://solargis.com/products/api/data-delivery-web-service/overview) and SolarAnywhere (https://developers.cleanpower.com/irradiance-and-weather-data/).

Hi @kanderso-nrel is this issue superceded by the Engerer PR #1366 ?

@mikofski Solcast and Engerer don't seem related to me, what's the connection? Or maybe you meant another issue?

Nick Engerer is the CTO and a co-founders of Solcast, so I thought maybe their software uses his methods? But TBH that's just an assumption.

Ha, of course! I think #1366 does not supercede this one: decomposition function in pvlib.irradiance vs data fetching function in pvlib.iotools.
