Documentation

Fields
Base
kind	string The resource type.
id	string A unique, persistent identifier for the dataset.
qualifiedReference	string The fully qualified reference for the dataset, of the form username.dataset_reference. E.g., demo.ghcn_daily_weather_data:v1_1:7br5
scopedReference	string The canonical reference for the dataset, e.g., ghcn_daily_weather_data:v1_1:7br5
referenceId	string A persistent, 4-character identifier for this dataset. Will always be unique across all datasets owned by the user / organization.
name	string The name of the dataset
url	string The table's url discoverable via the web interface.
uri	string The fully qualified URI of the dataset, for use in generating calls to this API. For example, /datasets/demo.ghcn_daily_weather_data:v1_1:7br5
doi	string The permanent reference to the dataset, using the digital object identifier system. Will be of the form 10.1109/5.771073 Will currently only be present for datasets hosted by organizations that have a DOI registry configured.
owner	object The owner of the dataset. Will either be an organization base definition or a user base definition.
List
createdAt	integer When the dataset was created. Stored as milliseconds since the epoch (1970-01-01).
updatedAt	integer When the dataset was updated. Stored as milliseconds since the epoch (1970-01-01).
accessLevel	string The accessLevel of the table for the current user, ignoring the access token being used. Will be one of: "none", "overview", "metadata", "data"
publicAccessLevel	string The accessLevel of the table to unauthenticated users. Will be one of: "none", "overview", "metadata", "data"
description	string A user-provided description of the dataset. Corresponds to the "abstract" show on the dataset overview.
tableCount	integer The number of tables on the dataset
numBytes	integer The size of all tables stored across the current version of the dataset.
totalNumBytes	integer The total storage size of this dataset, across all versions.
totalActiveTabularBytes	integer The total "active" bytes across all tables in this dataset, across all versions. Rows within a table become active once queried.
totalInactiveTabularBytes	integer The total "inactive" bytes across all tables in this dataset, across all versions. A particular row of a table becomes inactive when it hasn't been queried in 90 days.
totalRawFileBytes	integer The total number of bytes across all non-tabular files stored on this dataset, across all versions.
temporalRange	array(integer, integer) Will be null if no range has been specified. A tuple representing the start and end values for the temporal range. Stored as milliseconds since the epoch (1970-01-01). Note that in the case where temporalPrecision is "year" or "date", the upper bound of this value will store one millisecond before the next offset. For example: [1980, 1982] => [1980-01-01 00:00:00.000, 1982-12-31 23:59:59.999] [1990-09-19, 1990-09-24] => [1990-09-19 00:00:00.000, 1990-09-24 23:59:59.999]
temporalPrecision	string The precision of the temporal range. Will be one of "year", "date", "dateTime"
geoBBox	object An object describing the geographic bounding box of all geographic variables in the dataset. Will only be present for datasets containing "geography" variables, and if those variables' summary statistics have been computed (computation is performed automatically when a version of a dataset is released).
geoBBox .westLongitude .eastLongitude .northLatitude .southLatitude	number Each property represents one side of the bounding box, expressed in numeric degrees.
sampleConfiguration	object | null If a sample is present on this dataset, contains information about the sample configuration. Otherwise, will be null
sampleConfiguration.variableName	string The name of the variable that the sample is based on. May be null if the sample is a simple random sample.
sampleConfiguration.targetRatio	float The approximate ratio of records in the sample tables compared to the unsampled tables.
Get
methodologyMarkdown	string The methodology information documented for the dataset, in markdown format. May be null.
usageMarkdown	string The usage information documented for the dataset, in markdown format. May be null.

customDocumentationSections[] .accessLevel	string The minimum accessLevel required to view the custom section. Will be one of overview,metadata, data
customDocumentationSections[] .markdownContent	string The content of the documentation, stored as markdown. This field will be null if the current caller doesn't have the appropriate access level to view this section.

supportingFiles[].mimeType	string The recorded MIME type of the uploaded file
supportingFiles[].size	integer The size, in bytes, of the supporting file
tags	array(object) An array of tags on this dataset.
tags.name	string The name of the tag
version	object The version of the dataset that was requested. If no version was specified in the request, will be the dataset's current version. Returned as a version.base resource.
currentVersion	object The dataset's current (latest) version. Will be null if no version has yet been released. Returned as a version.base resource.
