Fetch a Dataverse file into a study-relative path (surgical pull) — fetch_dataverse

Downloads one file by Dataverse file id (or absolute URL) into the study tree. Prefer this over full-dataset zip downloads and over study-local download helpers. Typical Pattern B: write under outputs/.

Usage

fetch_dataverse_file(
  file_id = NULL,
  path,
  url = NULL,
  original = TRUE,
  server = "dataverse.harvard.edu",
  study_root = NULL,
  force = TRUE
)

Arguments

file_id: Dataverse file id (ignored when url is set).
path: Study-relative destination (e.g. "outputs/data.dta").
url: Optional direct URL (e.g. already including ?format=original).
original: When TRUE and using file_id, request native upload.
server: Dataverse host.
study_root: Local study root; defaults to REPLICATE_STUDY_ROOT or ".".
force: Re-download existing files.

Value

Invisibly, absolute destination path.
