It seems that CRDS now supports "synphot" files in its system to the extend of HST throughput files.

Relevant links:

However, a user-friendly documentation on how to grab only those files (instead of a textbook-like user manual) and how to then tell stsynphot to use them is missing. I am thinking of something like a quick-start guide. And we can possibly document it here (along with the setup doc) or a new section in CRDS manual.

@rizeladiaz or @jaytmiller , do you know someone who can help me write such a thing? Thanks!

EDIT: Depends on spacetelescope/crds#731

Some information is contained within the crds code help. The get_synphot routine can be used to download the synphot throughput files (not calspec) directly from the CRDS server. The crds package comes with a default astroconda installation. Type crds get_synphot --help for more information.
