You didn't say what you want to query. Are you trying to download
entire sections of the Bilbao Crystallographic Server? Maybe the admins
will give you access to the data.
* this link: https://www.cryst.ehu.es/cgi-bin/cryst/programs/nph-getgen
brings up the table of space group symbols.
* choose say #7: Pc
* now click ITA Settings, then choose the last entry "P c 1 1" and it
loads:
https://www.cryst.ehu.es/cgi-bin/cryst/programs//nph-trgen?gnum=007&what=gp&trmat=b,-a-c,c&unconv=P%20c%201%201&from=ita
You might be able to fool around with that URL and substitute values and
get back the data you want (in HTML) via Python. Do you really want
HTML results?
