I originally understood the "expand" parameter:
https://docs.gdc.cancer.gov/API/Users_Guide/Search_and_Retrieval/#expand
to refer to fields. Instead, it refers to "field groups", so it appears that adding a column with the "expand" value for each field might make more sense. So, for the output here:
https://gdc-api.nci.nih.gov/files/_mapping
Define a data frame with a column called "expand" that will include repeated field groups for the associated fields.
On second thought, I think we don't need the expand at all. We have more powerful approaches available directly in R.
