This function makes an info API call to fetch metadata (including
dimension structure) of a DataMarket dataset.
Usage
dminfo(ds, .params = list())
Arguments
ds
a dataset ID, DS string, URL query-string, or whole URL. The DS
string to send is extracted from the URL as needed, and short URLs
at data.is, bit.ly, is.gd, t.co and url.is are expanded.
.params
extra GET parameters to pass along in the API request.
Value
a structure of named lists representing the dataset metadata.
If the resolved DS string is a multiple-dataset DS string (that is,
contains / forward-slash characters), then the returned value is a
named list of such structures, with ‘strsplit(ds, ’/')' as names.
