Figshare Data Download

Use this skill to fetch Figshare dataset files behind anti-bot checks.

Workflow

1. Normalize inputs:

• item_or_file_url: DOI URL, item page URL, or ndownloader URL
• output_path: final local path
• expected_name: expected browser filename (optional)

2. Resolve the file download link in browser:

• Open the DOI/item page with browser tooling.
• Find and click the dataset "Download" / "Download file" element.
• If already given an ndownloader URL, open it directly in browser.

3. Complete any browser challenge/verification and trigger the real file download.

4. Copy the downloaded file from ~/Downloads to output_path.
