Its intention is to help with data migrations and DevOps activities such as testing and configuration management. The module is developed by `Stefan Kasberger `_ from `AUSSDA - The Austrian Social Science Data Archive `_. `dataverse-client-python `_ had its initial release in 2015. `Robert Liebowitz `_ created this library while at the `Center for Open Science (COS) `_ and the COS uses it to integrate the `Open Science Framework (OSF) `_ with Dataverse installations via an add-on which itself is open source and listed on the :doc:`/api/apps` page. +`Pooch `_ is a Python library that allows library and application developers to download data. Among other features, it takes care of various protocols, caching in OS-specific locations, checksum verification and adds optional features like progress bars or log messages. Among other popular repositories, Pooch supports Dataverse in the sense that you can reference Dataverse-hosted datasets by just a DOI and Pooch will determine the data repository type, query the Dataverse API for contained files and checksums, giving you an easy interface to download them. + R -
