When time estimate is very long (i.e. above some threshold we define), package could display a message along the lines of "consider downloading flat files from educationdata.urban.org"

Hi Matt,

Yes this is something I've been thinking about, and the next step here is to allow users to select the ability to download from CSV, if they'd like (e.g., for long file downloads, as you point out). It looks like Dave has now implemented the feature and the APIs are up, so this is ready for me to work on.

I'm going to be working on this as my next step, as I think it will make using the API less painful for users. I'll keep you updated here.

@grahamimac That field can't be used because there are multiple files associated with a single endpoint. If you go to https://educationdata-stg.urban.org/api/v1/api-downloads/ you can use the endpoint ID to get the associated downloads.

Saw that when I went to the website and edited my comment, probably right when you posted yours, thanks Dave!

Ability to download from CSV is now implemented in the 0.2 release, which is coming soon. Closing now.
