TODO: add gh ci, rm request

Should be ready to publish a major release after that.

Might be good to use this module for https://github.com/ungoldman/himawari since same logic is happening under the hood there.

Data Download

Hello @ungoldman,

Thank you for sharing the code.

I encountered an issue regarding AHI data. Currently, I am using the AWS public bucket to download Himawari-9 data. However, I've noticed that the data latency is higher compared to ABI data(GOES). It may take up to 8 minutes to access the acquired full disk image, which normally takes about 1 minute for ABI (GOES).

I'm wondering if there are any solutions or alternatives for accessing Himawari data in a more real-time manner.

Regards
