I was able to figure this out. Sharing Stata code in case it is useful for anyone else. I needed to use the background indicator for percent of women(SV_BACK_W_PCW) and specify breakdown = all. This gave me some categories I don't need like education and region, but I just deleted them in Stata.

* Background characteristics table for most recent surveys 2006-2022.
import delimited using " https://api.dhsprogram.com/rest/dhs/data?surveyYearStart=200 6&surveyYearEnd=2022&breakdown=all&indicatorIds= SV_BACK_W_PCW,&selectSurveys=latest&returnfields=sur veyId,DHS_CountryCode,CountryName,SurveyYear,SurveyYearLabel ,SurveyType,FieldworkStart,FieldworkEnd,indicator,IndicatorI D,value,shortname,characteristiclabel,characteristicid,chara cteristiccategory,&f=csv&apiKey=GUTTMA-130129", clear
