Hi

i was trying to get dataset. the csvs are accessible by downloading via the browser however i was looking if there is other method to download the dataset programmatically (python) or HTTP methods . for example : url = “[DepMap Data Downloads](https://depmap.org/portal/download/all/?releasename=DepMap+Public+22Q4&filename=CRISPRGeneEffect.csv)”

All DepMap data is released on figshare which does have a very nice set of APIs for programmatically downloading. Perhaps that would work better then trying to download from the portal?

For example, the latest DepMap release is available on figshare at [DepMap 23Q2 Public](https://figshare.com/articles/dataset/DepMap_23Q2_Public/22765112)
