+#' @title Acquire data in a clean format
+#'
+#' @description Take in input data frames and/or files containing raw data, and timezones, and
+#' output a Data object, roughly corresponding to a list where each cell contains all value
+#' for one day (see \code{?Data}).
+#'
+#' @param ts_data Time-series, as a data frame (DB style: 2 columns, first is date/time,
+#' second is value) or a CSV file
+#' @param exo_data Exogenous variables, as a data frame or a CSV file; first comlumn is dates,
+#' next block are measurements for the day, and final block are exogenous forecasts
+#' @param input_tz Timezone in the input files ("GMT" or e.g. "Europe/Paris")
+#' @param date_format How date/time are stored (e.g. year/month/day hour:minutes;
+#' see \code{strptime})
+#' @param working_tz Timezone to work with ("GMT" or e.g. "Europe/Paris")
+#' @param predict_at When does the prediction take place ? Integer, in hours. Default: 0
+#' @param limit Number of days to extract (default: Inf, for "all")
+#'
+#' @return An object of class Data
+#'
