Use metadata endpoint -- Richard to post the metadata

I posted metadata to these widgets:

• Total Tree Cover Loss/Gain - 95c2c559-ca78-4b7a-b18b-7b2bca14ce83
• Annual Tree Cover Loss - e53e541c-92cd-4b00-9aa7-2c7bb36d4697
• CO2 Emissions from biomass loss -ac38fdbd-fdb1-4d8e-9109-674013fb51a2
• Annual Tree Cover Loss in IFL - 2083a1bc-440d-43fe-8b50-ff9918a37c57
• Annual Tree Cover Loss by Land Cover Class - 31f78466-fc0b-42f9-a7ae-bea8559740d8
• GLAD Alerts Per Month - 0734ba0a-3a6c-4388-aa4a-5871791b1d1f
• Total GLAD Alerts - 16ff6282-8ceb-4055-938a-43726a62b205
• VIIRS Active Fires - 5d696f96-e6c7-4323-8bda-4c99cd6b0cb4
• Land Cover Composition - 1b84364d-0efd-4d60-81ef-870f7d13ee7b

It looks like there are several ways to pull the metadata:

This calls returns the widget + metadata in all languages:

http://production-api.globalforestwatch.org/widget/95c2c559-ca78-4b7a-b18b-7b2bca14ce83?includes=metadata

https://production-api.globalforestwatch.org/v1/dataset/a97036a8-5526-4b85-8ffb-9ee2cdd9b34a/widget/95c2c559-ca78-4b7a-b18b-7b2bca14ce83?includes=metadata

These call returns just the metadata without the widget and you can add a filter by language.

https://production-api.globalforestwatch.org/v1/dataset/a97036a8-5526-4b85-8ffb-9ee2cdd9b34a/widget/95c2c559-ca78-4b7a-b18b-7b2bca14ce83/metadata?language=en

Unfortunately, this call does not seem to work so it looks you have to include the dataset ID in the query if you want to retrieve just the metadata.

A few questions / comments here to note:

1) Noticed we are using the url: https://production-api.globalforestwatch.org/v1/dataset/a97036a8-5526-4b85-8ffb-9ee2cdd9b34a/widget/95c2c559-ca78-4b7a-b18b-7b2bca14ce83/metadata?language=en. Will we need to add the datasetID to our configurations?

2) Let's also make sure this feature, and the custom report in general work with some other builds that include custom country analysis (i.e: Ethiopia, Georgia, Liberia). Some custom country analysis might not have a description in the API so in this case we should make the widget still loads but does not show the description underneath.
