Downloading Kaggle files in Python

My question is a continuation of: documentation for Kaggle API *within* python?.

So, I download a dataset with the Kaggle API:

api.dataset_download_files('berkeleyearth/climate-change-earth-surface-temperature-data',
                           path='datasets/kaggle', unzip=True)

Is there a way to fetch the name of the downloaded csv files? Or do I have to make sure I download (and unzip) the files in a dedicated folder that I should then browse?
