Description
I find the distinction between data API and "normal" API quite confusing, and I'm not sure why a user would ever want to use the data API.
How about we add API calls for both CSV and ARFF to download the data by using the dataset id?
I find it a bit odd that I can get anything about a dataset with a rest call from the API, but I can't get the dataset itself.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by reviewing the existing REST API and data API entry points, then trace how datasets are identified and served in CSV and ARFF formats. Done means documented API calls can download either format using a dataset id, with coverage for the new behavior.
