GetAssignment: Get Assignment(s)

Description

Get an assignment or multiple assignments for one or more HITs (or a HITType) as a dataframe.

Usage

GetAssignment(assignment = NULL, hit = NULL, hit.type = NULL, status = NULL, 
              return.all = FALSE, pagenumber = "1", pagesize = "10", 
              sortproperty = "SubmitTime", sortdirection = "Ascending", 
              response.group = NULL, return.assignment.dataframe = TRUE,
              verbose = getOption('MTurkR.verbose'), ...)

Arguments

assignment

An optional character string specifying the AssignmentId of an assignment to return.

hit

An optional character string specifying the HITId whose assignments are to be returned, or a vector of character strings specifying multiple HITIds all of whose assignments are to be returned.

hit.type

An optional character string specifying the HITTypeId (or a vector of HITTypeIds) of one or more HITs whose assignments are to be returned.

status

An optional character string (of Approved,Rejected,Submitted), specifying whether only a subset of assignments should be returned. If NULL, all assignments are returned (the default). Only ap

return.all

If TRUE, all available assignments are returned. Otherwise, only assignments falling within the specified pagenumber and pagesize search results are returned.

pagenumber

An optional character string indicating which page of search results should be returned (only appropriate when specifying a single HITId). Most users can ignore this.

pagesize

An optional character string indicating how many search results should be returned by each request (only appropriate when specifying a single HITId), between 1 and 100. Most users can ignore this.

sortproperty

One of AcceptTime, SubmitTime, AssignmentStatus. Ignored if return.all=TRUE. Most users can ignore this.

sortdirection

Either Ascending or Descending. Ignored if return.all=TRUE. Most users can ignore this.

response.group

An optional character string (or vector of character strings) specifying what details to return. If assignment is specified, response.group can include any of Request, Minimal, Assignment

return.assignment.dataframe

A logical specifying whether the Assignment dataframe should be returned. Default is TRUE.

verbose

Optionally print the results of the API request to the standard output. Default is taken from getOption('MturkR.verbose').

...

Additional arguments passed to request.

Value

Optionally a dataframe containing Assignment data, including workers responses to any questions specified in the question parameter of the CreateHIT function.

Details

This function returns the requested assignments. The function must specify an AssignmentId xor a HITId xor a HITTypeId. If an AssignmentId is specified, only that assignment is returned. If a HIT or HITType is specified, default behavior is to return all assignments through a series of sequential (but invisible) API calls meaning that returning large numbers of assignments (or assignments for a large number of HITs in a single request) may be time consuming. GetAssignments(), assignment(), and assignments() are aliases.
