ouro = Ouro(api_key=os.environ.get("OURO_API_KEY"))
file_id = "1b759e49-2f22-46f6-853c-6c527e2fc75a"
# Retrieve file metadata
file = ouro.files.retrieve(file_id)
print(file.name, file.visibility)

A: stacked area of COD no-carbon (inorganic) intake 1990-2026 by publisher family, showing the 2004-2005 Elsevier+Wiley cut, the 2014-16 mineralogy and ACS cuts, and RSC's persistence. B: COD no-C intake (left, red) against ICSD cumulative size (right, blue: 100k in 2007, 200k in 2018, 335k in release 2026.1). The structures didn't disappear; they stopped arriving openly.
