Production by country:

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/bgs_query.py --query "Cobalt" --country "Congo"

Filter by year range:

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/bgs_query.py --query "Copper" --year-from 2018 --year-to 2022

Get country ranking:

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/bgs_query.py --query "Graphite" --ranking --top-n 10

Filter by statistic type:

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/bgs_query.py --query "Nickel" --statistic-type "Exports"

JSON output:

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/bgs_query.py --query "Rare earths" --format json --limit 20
