+    Retrieve irradiance and weather data from Meteonorm.
+
+    The Meteonorm data options are described in [1]_ and the API is described
+    in [2]_. A detailed list of API options can be found in [3]_.
+
+    This function supports historical and forecast data, but not TMY.
+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    latitude: float
+        In decimal degrees, north is positive (ISO 19115).
+    longitude: float
+        In decimal degrees, east is positive (ISO 19115).
+    start: datetime like, optional
+        First timestamp of the requested period. If a timezone is not
+        specified, UTC is assumed. A relative datetime string is also allowed.
+    end: datetime like, optional
+        Last timestamp of the requested period. If a timezone is not
+        specified, UTC is assumed. A relative datetime string is also allowed.
+    api_key: str
+        Meteonorm API key.
+    endpoint : str
+        API endpoint, see [3]_. Must be one of:
+
+        * ``'/observation/training'`` - historical data with a 7-day delay
+        * ``'/observation/realtime'`` - near-real time (past 7-days)
+        * ``'/forecast/basic'`` - forcast with hourly resolution
+        * ``'/forecast/precision'`` - forecast with 15-min resolution
+
+    parameters : list, optional
+        List of parameters to request or 'all' to get all parameters. The
+        default is 'all'.
+    surface_tilt: float, optional
+        Tilt angle from horizontal plane. The default is 0.
+    surface_azimuth: float, optional
+        Orientation (azimuth angle) of the (fixed) plane. Clockwise from north
+        (north=0, east=90, south=180, west=270). The default is 180.
+    time_step : {'1min', '15min', '1h'}, optional
+        Frequency of the time series. The parameter is ignored when requesting
+        forcasting data. The default is '15min'.
+    horizon : optional
+        Specification of the horizon line. Can be either a 'flat', 'auto', or
+        a list of 360 horizon elevation angles. The default is 'auto'.
+    interval_index: bool, optional
+        Whether the index of the returned data object is of the type
+        pd.DatetimeIndex or pd.IntervalIndex. This is an experimental feature
+        which may be removed without warning. The default is False.
+    map_variables: bool, optional
+        When true, renames columns of the Dataframe to pvlib variable names
+        where applicable. The default is True. See variable
+        :const:`VARIABLE_MAP`.
+    url: str, optional
+        Base URL of the Meteonorm API. The ``endpoint`` parameter is
+        appended to the url. The default is
+        :const:`pvlib.iotools.meteonorm.URL`.
+
+    Raises
+    ------
+    requests.HTTPError
+        Raises an error when an incorrect request is made.
+
+    Returns
+    -------
+    data : pd.DataFrame
+        Time series data. The index corresponds to the start (left) of the
+        interval unless ``interval_index`` is set to False.
