Shaping / Transforming JSON Data

I have a public API that's freely availabe to use by anyone (no auth required).  The Request URL I have is:

https://myhospitalsapi.aihw.gov.au/api/v1/measure-downloads/measure-download-codes

This returns JSON (see JSON Result below for full result).

I'm having trouble Transforming this to a Table of data.

 

My hope is to have a single table that has 3 columns:- 'datasheet_code', 'datasheet_description', 'datasheet_type'.

I'm not sure how to cater for the result json format that has an extra layer sitting above these fields e.g.

 

  "myh-adm": [
      {
        "datasheet_code""myh-adm",
        "datasheet_description""A datasheet covering the number of admisions to hospitals.",
        "datasheet_type""MEASURE-DATA"
      }
    ],
