Description

This [starting_index option] seems helpful for resuming a download given the last successful index. Perhaps in the future you could add an option for ending index or number of items. That way a user could download chunks of a CSV in multiple processes.

Research direction

Read the existing starting_index option and the CSV download flow first. Define the ending-index or item-count behavior for chunked, multi-process downloads, and consider the work complete when separate ranges process the intended rows without overlap.
