Downloading BioSample records

Hello, I would like to download multiple records from BioSample (i.e., metadata) by their identifiers. For some reason I can't figure out how to do it in the same way as I download the sequences themselves. How can I do it? Thank you!

They don't need anything in SRA. You can query the BioSample database:
