You can also move the whole function into a script¹, (any filename 
with the extension .vim will do) and move it into your plugin 
directory (which should be $HOME/.vim/plugin on all Systems except 
Windows, where you would drop it into $HOME/vimfiles/plugin, create 
directories, that do not yet exist).

I like this approach, since it lets me create a whole bunch of 
separate scripts with distinct functionality and allows me to easily 
adjust or disable those scripts (e.g. simply removing the .vim 
extension from the script) and keeps my .vimrc simpler.

But note, that these plugins will always be loaded. You can also 
create filetype specific plugins. Read more about global-plugins at
:h add-global-plugin
and for creating filetype specific plugins at
:h add-filetype-plugin

Check your path (:pwd). This shows in which path you executed the 
command and where the external command saved your data. Nevertheless, 
you'll probably want to add some error-checking, specifying the output 
directory and filename and something like this.

¹) adding enhancements, such as user-commands (:h user-commands) or 
adding a map to execute this function more easier.
