[DOCKTESTERS] Help request: get donor file information from ICGC DCC programmatically

[Miguel Vazquez]

Dear friends,

For our upcoming testing work on the filters I think we will be using the
SNV and SV files that where submitted from the different providers and
comparing with the resulting final VCFs. To access these I was planning to
use GNOS or the ICGC client, for which we will need to specify the "Object
ID" or "Submitted Bundle ID" that are found in the file pages of ICGC (e.g
https://dcc.icgc.org/repositories/files/FI384359). For the normal and tumor
BAMS and for the consensus VCF I was going to the site manually and
extracting them, but it is tedious and error prone, and it's the only
really manual thing in the scripts. It will be great to automate it.

Is there a programmatic way to find all the files for a donor, with the
names, and then access for any of them the "Object ID" and "Submitted
Bundle ID"?

Best regards

Miguel
