{datasetId}: Get Dataset Metadata

Description

Returns detailed metadata for a specific dataset identified by its unique ID. Unlike the bulk list endpoint, this returns a single dataset's complete metadata record including title, description, contact information, update schedule, keywords, themes, and download URLs. Call this when you know the dataset ID (from browsing the catalog) and want to understand what data it contains, when it was last updated, and where to download the full dataset as CSV.

From spec: Returns detailed metadata for a specific dataset by its identifier.
