One of the key information pieces for a Lego set is the set number. This is the number that Lego puts on the box next to the the set name. The legosets dataset and the results returned by brickset::getSets includes a column setID but not the number. The setID value appears to just be a unique id value for the item with no special relation to the item itself.

Your sets_json object that you create in getSets from the brickset.com download contains the set number in the number element. There is also a numberVariant element that goes with the number that uniquely identifies the item since sometimes the same number is used for multiple items.

I request that you include both the number and numberVariant columns in the results returned by getSets and in the helpful legosets dataset.
