Details

The content and format arguments are used to control the specific items to be exported, and in what format. **Review the API documentation**

The uri, token, and format arguments are set to NULL by default and will look to the Sys.getenv("REDCap_API_URI"), Sys.getenv("REDCap_API_TOKEN"), and Sys.getenv("REDCap_API_format"), respectively, to define the values if not explicitly done so by the end user.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
# A reproducible example would require a REDCap project, accessable via an
# API token.  An example of the return from these calls are provided as data
# with this package.

# avs_raw_metadata <- export_content(content = "metadata")
data(avs_raw_metadata)
str(avs_raw_metadata)

# }
