Table$download_files

Table$download_files(path=getwd(), *, overwrite=FALSE, max_results=NULL, file_id_variable=NULL, progress=TRUE, max_parallelization=100) → void

Downloads files associated with a file index table to the directory specified at path. Only relevant for tables that contain at least one variable with a file id.

Parameters:

path : str, default getwd() The path of the directory to download files. Will automatically create the directory if it doesn't exist. If not specified, defaults to the current working directory.

overwrite : bool, default FALSE Whether to overwrite any existing files when downloading. If FALSE, will throw an error if a file with the same name already exists at the provided path.

max_results : int, default NULL If specified, will only download up to max_results files

file_id_variable : str, default NULL The variable in the table containing file ids. Only required if the table contains more than one fileId variable, otherwise the file_id_variable will automatically be determined

progress : bool, default TRUE Whether to show progress bar.

max_parallelization : int, default 100 The maximum parallelization when downloading files. Uses connection pooling via the curl library, and generally uses minimal CPU resources. However, better performance may be achieved with a lower number when downloading a smaller number of large files.

Returns:

void
