REDCapR (version 0.9.8)

redcap_version: Determine version of REDCap instance

Description

This function uses REDCap's API to query its version.

Usage

redcap_version(redcap_uri, token, verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

redcap_uri

The URI (uniform resource identifier) of the REDCap project. Required.

token

The user-specific string that serves as the password for a project. Required.

verbose

A boolean value indicating if messages should be printed to the R console during the operation. The verbose output might contain sensitive information (e.g. PHI), so turn this off if the output might be visible somewhere public. Optional.

Value

A utils::packageVersion.

Details

If the API call is unsuccessful, a value of base::package_version("0.0.0") will be returned. This ensures that a the function will always return an object of class base::package_version. It guarantees the value can always be used in utils::compareVersion().

Examples

# NOT RUN {
library(REDCapR) #Load the package into the current R session.

token    <- "9A81268476645C4E5F03428B8AC3AA7B"
redcap_version(redcap_uri=uri, token=token)
