Add more details on how to request data from google takeout correctly.

The default is to download everything. This can result in an enormous amount of data when you only really need 2 types of data for now:

  • My Activity
  • Location History

In addition unless you specify that "My Activity" is downloaded in JSON format the default is HTML. This then causes the

google-takeout-to-sqlite my-activity takeout.db takeout.zip

command to fail as it only contains html files not json files.

Thanks
