Data can be retrieved using the Mars Retrieval icon or its Macro language equivalent, the retrieve() function. Either start with a supplied example icon, or create a new instance, either from the icon drawers at the bottom of the Metview desktop, or from the New Icon context menu. Edit the icon by selecting Edit from its context menu (or double-click the icon).
The important parameters to set in order to use the Web API are Database (should be set to 'Data Server') and Dataset. Otherwise, the retrieval should be as described in the Web API guide. It may be useful to create a Mars Retrieval icon with the Database parameter set, and put it into an icon drawer (at the bottom of the Metview desktop) or the Mars Retrieval icon template drawer for future re-use.
