title: How to use the NOAA API to query past weather data for a given set of coordinates
body: <p>I am trying to retrieve past NOAA data using latitudinal and longitudinal coordinates. I am interested both in historical time series and annual summaries for variables such as temperature, wind speed, cloud fraction, and precipitation. </p>
  
  <p>EX: 2008-02-20 13:00 in (25.033972, 121.564493)</p>
  
  <p>I hope to automate a process that achieves this for 900,000+ locations. Any ideas? Ideally this script would be written in R or Python. </p>
