John Mueller from Google announced on Google+ that Google will be discontinuing the support of CSV download scripts, specifically the Python script to download search query data from Google Search Console, formerly Google Webmaster Tools.
Google said the last day this Python script will work is on October 20, 2015. That should give most webmasters and developers enough time to migrate their scripts over to the new Search Console API.
Google initially launched the download option for Google Webmaster tools back in December 2011. So that Python script had about a four-year run, which is not bad at all.
The new Search Console API will provide a more efficient method to grab the same data.
So you have until October 20, 2015 to upgrade your software to the official API.
