Unable to programmatically download Kaggle dataset "nih-chest-xrays/data" specific file Version 3

[Stackoverflow Link](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74839209/unable-to-programmatically-download-kaggle-dataset-nih-chest-xrays-data-specif).

I need to download Kaggle's [NIH Chest X-rays Dataset](https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/nih-chest-xrays/data?select=Data_Entry_2017.csv) programmatically, specifically the `Data_Entry_2017.csv`.

**_I want to download it if doesn't exist on system, and redownload it if it's updation date exceeds last download date._**

I know I can do this manually, but I'll appreciate if there was a way to do it programmatically.

---
I have done:
1. Direct download:
```
kaggle.api.dataset_download_file(dataset='nih-chest-xrays/data', file_name='Data_Entry_2017.csv', path='data/')
```
This gives:
```

Same for any other files in this dataset:

kaggle.api.dataset_download_file(dataset='nih-chest-xrays/data', file_name='test_list.txt', path='data/')

The strange thing is that I can search this dataset:
```
dataset_list = kaggle.api.dataset_list(search='nih')
print(dataset_list)
```
Which gives:
```
[nih-chest-xrays/data, nih-chest-xrays/sample, allen-institute-for-ai/CORD-19-research-challenge,

and-rates-per-us-county]
```
It's literally the first one on the list.

And checking its metadata:
```
dataset = vars(dataset_list[0])
print(dataset)
```
Which gives:
```

```
I can even list the files for that dataset, and it's visible:
```
print(kaggle.api.dataset_list_files('nih-chest-xrays/data').files)
```
Which gives:
```
[BBox_List_2017.csv, LOG_CHESTXRAY.pdf, ARXIV_V5_CHESTXRAY.pdf, README_CHESTXRAY.pdf,
train_val_list.txt, Data_Entry_2017.csv, FAQ_CHESTXRAY.pdf, test_list.txt]
```
A problem I noticed was that `kaggle.api.dataset_download_file` was only fetching from Version 1, where these files don't exist. This was further confirmed when I successfully fetched an image file from Version 1:
```
res = kaggle.api.dataset_download_file(dataset='nih-chest-xrays/data', file_name='images_001/images/00000001_000.png', path='data/')
print(res)
```
Which downloads the image and prints `True`.

_My data is Version 3. Is there any way to configure kaggle to use Version 3?_

Note that I can download the whole 45GB dataset, but I only require the single file `Data_Entry_2017.csv`.

Even more strangely, it's also throwing an error when checking its status:
```
print(kaggle.api.dataset_status(dataset='nih-chest-xrays/data'))
```
Which gives:
```

Nope, error `404`.

**_How do I download Kaggle's [NIH Chest X-rays Dataset](https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/nih-chest-xrays/data?select=Data_Entry_2017.csv) programmatically, specifically the `Data_Entry_2017.csv`?_**

Any help is appreciated!

I have checked:
- I checked out [Kaggle Python API](https://www.kaggle.com/code/donkeys/kaggle-python-api/), but it doesn't appear to have any way to configure Version.
- I checked out [Kaggle API](https://github.com/Kaggle/kaggle-api) on github, but it also doesn't appear to have any ways to configure Version.
