Feature Request

Add support for /api/info/metrics/{metric}/monthly in the MetricsAPI class

Question : would it be best to have a series of get_dataset/file/dataverses_by_month() or a more generic function get_metric_by_month() with the type as a parameter ?

@DS-INRA, thank you for submitting the feature request! I recommend creating a generic function that uses an Enum to encode the types, as it would be straightforward. I’ve added this to our working group project as a todo item and will handle the PR once other tasks are completed.
