get_raw_data_files: Get Raw Data Files

Description

Retrieves a list of raw data file exports that are available for a list of product IDs and the download URL for each file.

Usage

get_raw_data_files(rev_product_ids, rev_session_id, rev_username)

Arguments

rev_product_ids

A vector of revulytics product id's for which you want active user data.

rev_session_id

Session ID established by the connection to Revulytics API. This can be obtained with revulytics_auth().

rev_username

Revulytics username.

Value

Data frame with available files and URLs.

Details

Raw data files are an add-on service available through Revenera. If these files are available they can be downloaded manually from the user portal, or downloaded via R. This function uses the API to first retrieve the list of files, and then get the download URL for each file.

It is not recommended that your username be stored directly in your code. There are various methods and packages available that are more secure; this package does not require you to use any one in particular.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
rev_user <- "my_username"
rev_pwd <- "super_secret"
product_ids_list <- c("123", "456", "789")
session_id <- revulytics_auth(rev_user, rev_pwd)  
files_df <- get_raw_data_files(product_ids_list, session_id, rev_user)
file_list <- dplyr::pull(files_df, var = file_name)
for (f in file_list){
  url <- dplyr::filter(files_df, file_name == f) %>% dplyr::pull(download_url)
  download.file(url, mode = "wb", destfile = "download_file_location.zip")
}
