Notes

Restricted Zenodo record requiring an access request. The source reports 5,042 images from 742 affected eyes and 1,310 images from 742 matched control eyes; the birdshot cohort has a median 4.31-year follow-up. CC BY 4.0 does not remove the access agreement.

Access preflight and acquisition

CLI

# This route requires upstream human action; no transfer starts.
eyehub download birdshot_wide --data-dir ./data --dry-run --json
# Follow the official instructions shown by preflight.

Python

from eyedatahub.acquisition import preflight_dataset
from eyedatahub.datasets.registry import REGISTRY

ds = REGISTRY.get_dataset('birdshot_wide')
print(preflight_dataset(ds, './data'))  # returns manual_access_blocked
