   1 #' @title Acquire data in a clean format
   2 #'
   3 #' @description Take in input data frames and/or files containing raw data, and timezones, and
   4 #'   output a Data object, roughly corresponding to a list where each cell contains all value
   5 #'   for one day (see \code{?Data}).
   6 #'
   7 #' @param ts_data Time-series, as a data frame (DB style: 2 columns, first is date/time,
   8 #'   second is value) or a CSV file
   9 #' @param exo_data Exogenous variables, as a data frame or a CSV file; first comlumn is dates,
  10 #'   next block are measurements for the day, and final block are exogenous forecasts
  11 #' @param input_tz Timezone in the input files ("GMT" or e.g. "Europe/Paris")
  12 #' @param date_format How date/time are stored (e.g. year/month/day hour:minutes;
  13 #'   see \code{strptime})
  14 #' @param working_tz Timezone to work with ("GMT" or e.g. "Europe/Paris")
  15 #' @param predict_at When does the prediction take place ? Integer, in hours. Default: 0
  16 #' @param limit Number of days to extract (default: Inf, for "all")
  17 #'
  18 #' @return An object of class Data
