How can I download the entire Ethereum blockchain?

Question

Is there a way to "get" the whole ethereum blockchain in order to process it locally? For example a link for direct download or via a developer API?

Thanks in advance!

1. You should install ethereum client https://geth.ethereum.org/downloads/
2. Create a folder to store blockchain node.
3. Start geth from cmd with params geth --datadir "path to folder from 2" --networkid 1 and to wait synchronization is ended.
