If the user clicks the download data button (see #5), the a csv file should download with data from the start date to end date (both inclusive)

  • If no dates are selected, download all data
  • Data format (tab separated csv):
date    epu-index
2014-03-21    3.31
2014-03-22    3.14

Still unknown:

  • Is tab separated preferred (I guess, because it opens directly in Excel)
  • How should epu-index be rounded?
  • Is . or ,?

A lot of the work is already done. See #12 .

Blocked by #45

  • The desired data is now returned by the API (#45), including number of newspapers and number of articles.
  • The data are comma separated, which makes it a bit tricker to copy and paste to Excel, but I think it is is more standard (ask user maybe?)
  • The download form is implemented in a more simple way (as links) in #5.

I'll close this issue.
