cm.load_from_wb_database(db_name="wb_dbname", db_user="wb_dbuser", db_password="wb_dbpasswd", db_host="wb_dbhost",
                         paper_ids=[paper_id], file_server_host="file_server_base_url", file_server_user="username", 
                         file_server_passwd="password")

one_month_ago = (datetime.datetime.now() - datetime.timedelta(days=30)).strftime("%M/%D/%Y")

cm = CorpusManager()
cm.load_from_wb_database(db_name="wb_dbname", db_user="wb_dbuser", db_password="wb_dbpasswd", db_host="wb_dbhost",
                         from_date=one_month_ago, max_num_papers=50,
