Identifying Dataset ID based on Question ID #6

Open freedmanguy opened 4 years ago

freedmanguy commented 4 years ago

I wanted to ask if you think there’s any way to input question IDs (rather than dataset IDs) and for the package to identify the dataset ID and download it? The reason I ask is I often use a topline csv file for descriptive trends and based on that, I return to roper to download the files that are available for individual analysis. At the moment, I still have to go into roper and manually identify the dataset that each question originated in to create the vector of files in R. If there’s any way the package can make the jump from question ID to dataset ID, that would shorten the time of work even more…

Thanks for taking the time! I love this package.

Thanks, Guy! I can’t promise I’ll get to it soon (hence the "help wanted" tag), but it seems likely to be feasible enough, and it’s easy to see that it would be valuable for many users.

Of course, I understand. If and when it’s possible, it’ll be great.

All the best,
