Hi, thanks for this! It seems to work but only exports a blank csv. Any idea how to fix this?

EDIT: Export only works in 6-month intervals. Modified to append each 6-month interval to the original csv. Thanks again!

filePath = fileDirectory + filePrefix + ".csv"
f = open(filePath, "a")

EDIT2: @GloryousMC I forked this and added some comments to help you run this code. Let me know if you have any questions about it: https://gist.github.com/veekas/2fe3cf30fe6375f5d121c6372a550000
