I have just been informed that the (time-invariant) background information is somehow spread out over 200 data sets, each of which has to be downloaded individually.

Great use case for selenium, maybe with a bit of proxy magic but I'd bet they're not that secure.

It's like downloading "Montioring the Future" (except that's time series cross sectional). Just infuriating. It gets better when variable names are inconsistently used across time, too.

Assume you’re subskeeting the GESIS panel or similar. As someone who runs one such panel in the US, I can assure you that there is, in-fact, no such thing as time invariance in practice. The sole exception is birth-year, and even there, some people still give different answers if you re-ask it.
