Description

When a dataset isn’t able to generate a preview, the “download” button that
are in the “More information” area changes its name and symbol and becomes
a “API Endpoint” button, but its functionality still are allowing you to
download the resource. This is analogous to the “Go to resource” issue that
we reported before but not exactly the same, because only the “More
information” area download button changed its name.

As well as it says nothing about a download you are going to think that
button have another functionality relative to the API, but instead of that,
the button asked us about downloading the resource.

This issue may generate confusion to a new user, so we suggest to rename
that button again to “Download”.

We include a picture which shows where the “API Endpoint” is placed.
