How do I pull a subset of files, specifically anything that isn't a .mp4?

[AngCamp]

I want to pull this dataset: https://dandiarchive.org/dandiset/000409/draft I have a conda environment set up for the dandi package. Is there a way to get dandi download http://some_dandiset to pull just the files I want? I am not interested in the mp4 files of the raw video footage. I'm more interested in the neuropixels ephys and behavioral data anyway.

you can do something like this:

dandi download 'https://dandiarchive.org/api/dandisets/000409/versions/draft/assets/?glob=sub-CSHL049/*behavior.nwb'

also you can use datalad which allows you to create a shell of a dandiset in your local system.

datalad install -0
cd 000409/sub-CSHL049
datalad get sub-CSHL049_ses-c99d53e6-c317-4c53-99ba-070b26673ac4-processed-only_behavior.nwb

you can also remove the bytes of the file locally:

datalad drop sub-CSHL049_ses-c99d53e6-c317-4c53-99ba-070b26673ac4-processed-only_behavior.nwb

finally if you are programming you can access each file remotely without downloading all of it.
