Should be able to get license just from the GitHub API

ha0ye commented 3 years ago

I can handle this, from past experience interfacing with the github api in R.

Now in branch "license-from-github-url"

Specific implementation:

  1. read in data/output/CORD19_sampled_with_repos.csv
  2. look up github license (bonus: other API info, e.g. contributors list, references)
  3. write out data/output/CORD19_sampled_with_repos_with_github-metadatada.csv

Basic functionality is set now, and the output data is updated.

There are some minor squiggles to resolve, e.g. in one case, the organization github was linked, and not a specific repo.

Great, I think in order to close this issue, we should just merge the license info back into a version of the dataset file, e.g., based on CORD19_software_popularity_sampled_QA_DOI.csv?

@sdruskat I'll make a new PR to run the new file through my script.
