The get_senscape_data function takes a relatively long time to run when downloading a long date interval. I have tried to get it to generate information about progress so that the user has some idea of how long it will take. I have done this with txtprogressbar and with simply using cat, but neither seems to work very well -- at least not from the RStudio console. This may be an RStudio issue and they would work better directly in a regular terminal, but if anyone has good ideas of how to implement this better, please give it a try.
