+> Python arguments are equivalent to long-option arguments (`--arg`), unless otherwise specified. Flags are True/False arguments in Python. The manual for any gget tool can be called from the command-line using the `-h` `--help` flag.  
+# gget dataverse 🗄️
+Download datasets from [Dataverse](https://dataverse.harvard.edu/) repositories using dataset IDs.  
+Return format: Files downloaded to specified directory.
+
+This module was written by [Abolfazl Berajabasht](https://github.com/abearab).
+
+**Positional argument**  
+`table`  
+File containing the dataset IDs to download (CSV/TSV format). The file must contain the following columns:
+- `id`: The unique identifier for the datafile in Dataverse
+- `name`: The dataset name for the single file
+- `type`: The file type (e.g., csv, tsv, pkl, tab)
+
+**Optional arguments**  
+`-o` `--out`    
+Path to the directory where the datasets will be saved. Default: current working directory.
+
+**Flags**   
+`-q` `--quiet`   
+Command-line only. Prevents progress information from being displayed.  
+Python: Use `verbose=False` to prevent progress information from being displayed.
+  
+  
+### Examples
+
+**Download datasets from a CSV file**
+
+```bash
+gget dataverse datasets.csv
+```
+
+```python
+import gget
+gget.dataverse("datasets.csv")
+```
+
+Where `datasets.csv` contains:
+```
+id,name,type
+6180617,protein_network_nodes,tab
+6180618,protein_interactions,csv
+```
+
+&rarr; Downloads the specified datafiles from Dataverse to the current directory.
+
+<br/><br/>
+
+**Download datasets to a specific directory**
+
+```bash
+gget dataverse datasets.tsv -o /path/to/download/directory
+```
+
+```python
+import gget
+gget.dataverse("datasets.tsv", path="/path/to/download/directory")
+```
+
+&rarr; Downloads the specified datafiles from Dataverse to the specified directory.
+
+<br/><br/>
+
+**Download datasets using a DataFrame (Python only)**
+
+```python
+import gget
+import pandas as pd
+
+# Create DataFrame with dataset information
+df = pd.DataFrame({
+    'id': ['6180617', '6180618'],
+    'name': ['protein_nodes', 'protein_edges'],
+    'type': ['tab', 'csv']
+})
+
+gget.dataverse(df, path="./data")
+```
+
+&rarr; Downloads the specified datafiles from Dataverse using a pandas DataFrame.
+
+<br/><br/>
+
+### Notes
+
+- Files are downloaded with progress bars showing download status
+- If a file already exists locally, the download is skipped
+- The module validates that the input table contains the required columns (`id`, `name`, `type`)
+- Supports both CSV (comma-separated) and TSV (tab-separated) input files
+- Error handling provides clear messages for common issues like missing files or invalid formats

+**Argumento posicional**

+- `id`: El identificador único para el archivo de datos en Dataverse

+**Descargar conjuntos de datos usando un DataFrame (solo Python)**
+
+```python
+import gget
+import pandas as pd
+
+# Crear DataFrame con información del conjunto de datos
+df = pd.DataFrame({
+    'id': ['6180617', '6180618'],
+    'name': ['protein_nodes', 'protein_edges'],

+})
+
+gget.dataverse(df, path="./data")
+```
+
+&rarr; Descarga los archivos de datos especificados desde Dataverse usando un DataFrame de pandas.

+
+### Notas
+
+- Los archivos se descargan con barras de progreso que muestran el estado de descarga
+- Si un archivo ya existe localmente, la descarga se omite
+- El módulo valida que la tabla de entrada contenga las columnas requeridas (`id`, `name`, `type`)
+- Soporta archivos de entrada tanto CSV (separado por comas) como TSV (separado por tabulaciones)
+- El manejo de errores proporciona mensajes claros para problemas comunes como archivos faltantes o formatos inválidos
