Something new! A new script to recursively analyze a Dataverse collection. Just specify the root shortname and you're off and running. Well, maybe the URL too.

• New script: dv_collection_info. Dump your collection into a spreadsheet for easy analysis!
• New module: dataverse_utils.collections
  • collections.DvCollection will recursively crawl a collection for you
  • `collections.StudyMetadata will take as input the JSON from a metadata API request and output a sane, flattened dictionary with the study metadata. Acts like a dict because it is a dict!
