dwapi

The dwapi R package makes it easy to use data.world's REST API in R.
Using the package, users can:

Create and update datasets, metadata and files
Query datasets using SQL and SPARQL
Download files and entire datasets

Getting Started

To get started, load the library and checkout the quickstart vignette.

library(dwapi)
vignette("quickstart", package = "dwapi")

Here is a simple example:

intro_dataset <- dwapi::get_dataset(
  dataset = "https://data.world/jonloyens/an-intro-to-dataworld-dataset")

Notice that dataset is parameter required by most functions and can be provided in two formats:

URL: "https://data.world/jonloyens/an-intro-to-dataworld-dataset"
Path: "jonloyens/an-intro-to-dataworld-dataset"

Installation

To get the current released version from CRAN:

install.packages("dwapi")

To get the current development version from GitHub:

devtools::install_github("datadotworld/dwapi-r", build_vignettes = TRUE)

Configuration

First, users must obtain an API authentication token at: https://data.world/settings/advanced

IMPORTANT: For your security, do not include your API authentication token in code that is intended to be shared with others.

To configure the package, use dwapi::configure:

> library(dwapi)
> dwapi::configure(auth_token = "YOUR_TOKEN_GOES_HERE")

Next

Check out the quickstart vignette and the package documentation (?dwapi).

> vignette("quickstart", package = "dwapi")
> ?dwapi
