#' Get a set of senseBoxes from the openSenseMap
#'
#' Boxes can be selected by a set of filters.
#' Note that some filters do not work together:
#' \enumerate{
#'   \item \code{phenomenon} can only be applied together with \code{date} or
#'     \code{from / to}
#'   \item \code{date} and \code{from / to} cannot be specified together
#' }
#'
#' @param exposure Only return boxes with the given exposure ('indoor', 'outdoor', 'mobile')
#' @param model Only return boxes with the given model
#' @param grouptag Only return boxes with the given grouptag
#' @param date Only return boxes that were measuring within ±4 hours of the given time
#' @param from Only return boxes that were measuring later than this time
#' @param to Only return boxes that were measuring earlier than this time
#' @param phenomenon Only return boxes that measured the given phenomenon in the
#'   time interval as specified through \code{date} or \code{from / to}
#' @param bbox Only return boxes that are within the given boundingbox, 
#'   vector of 4 WGS84 coordinates. 
#'   Order is: longitude southwest, latitude southwest, longitude northeast, latitude northeast. 
#'   Minimal and maximal values are: -180, 180 for longitude and -90, 90 for latitude.
#' @param endpoint The URL of the openSenseMap API instance
#' @param progress Whether to print download progress information, defaults to \code{TRUE}
#' @param cache Whether to cache the result, defaults to false.
#'   If a valid path to a directory is given, the response will be cached there.
#'   Subsequent identical requests will return the cached data instead.
#' @return A \code{sensebox data.frame} containing a box in each row
