How to download all of the metadata associated with a particular EBI sample informatically?

Question

[O.rka]

Here is the example of one of the samples I am interested in but there are hundreds more.

https://www.ebi.ac.uk/metagenomics/samples/ERS488919

I tried using Python to scrape the HTML but it's dynamic so I'll need to try another option.

Is there any tool or method available to give a URL or sample identifier and output a table with the following metadata?

Use the API provided here. There are multiple entry points. I tried to figure out which one generates the example you posted but they must be doing some additional post-processing. In any case see the following.

Example URL: https://www.ebi.ac.uk/metagenomics/api/v1/samples?id=ERS488919

generates the following (truncated for brevity, there are 7000+ pages):

GET /metagenomics/api/v1/samples?id=ERS488919

HTTP 200 OK
Allow: GET, HEAD, OPTIONS
Content-Type: application/vnd.api+json
Vary: Accept
