Outformat support for EMBL-EBI RADAR (Rapid Automatic Detection and Alignment of Repeats in protein sequences)

I've been using RADAR on EMBL's web service through the command line with the rest API. The documentation (below) suggests I should be able to output the results as a CSV but I have no example of the acceptable syntax for this. I've tried --outformat csv/.csv/outfile name.csv.

Any help on this would be amazing! Thanks

Did you try --outformat csv --outfile output_file.csv?

Gave it a go just now. Same story. The job appears to execute and finishes, but it does not create the output fie.

Anything printed to STDOUT/STDERR? Also, can you give us a reproducible example with the full command and sample input please?
