the download from the Ecowitt cloud is not fully based on their public
http-API - it rather offers a "canon ball" solution as the author says
for details about the API see https://doc.ecowitt.net/
if you want to develop your own thing or create a more specific solution
using the accounts APP and API keys (to be created in the account)
the link provided by @Marlon seems to be a working solution, however it
has some caveats you might want to consider
(like other things you might do)
- it downloads data from all devices connected to your user account (if
you have only once console, then there's no issue here)
=> if you have more devices, you will get several CSV files with the
device-ID (=MAC address I guess, that's what the device ID is on
ecowitt.net) as file name
- you have to consider the resolution and retention times at ecowitt.net
=> you may have to run the script let's say every two months to have a 5
minute resolution of the data on ecowitt.net as CSV as potential backup
see https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=40730.0 chapter 14
- the download will not be complete if you have extra sensors beyond the
basic sensors - its "field map" would need to be extended, especially
for a WS90 outdoor array and its "piezo data" if you have one and for
the battery values (depends on what you store in your weewx database
A more specific method would be using the APP and API keys together with
the device ID and providing a starting and ending time stamp (down to a
5 minute slice) - e.g. a (still to be created) weewx extension with an
automatic refill from ecowitt.net at restart when needed (i.e. when
there was a - wanted or unwanted- interruption of the data logging
bigger than the weewx archiving intervall) as already implemented ever
since the API was published in the CumulusMX software.

HI Vince,
I might do that.
But I've posted here since this was script originally announced here
so the developer should see this anyway.
Also there are many weewx user who have Ecowitt kit and repopulating
the db from the Ecowitt server is something that others may have done,
hence my question :)
regards
Tim
