CEDAR R package for API linking in an R interface.
You can install this package with the following command:
devtools::install_github("earnaud/cedarr", dependencies = TRUE)
The features developped in this package are convenience functions for any R user to query the CEDAR API.
All functions address different part of the API. However, one can use cedarGet()
as a bottleneck function since this one is called from any other. It gathers
all arguments possible to build any query. See ?cedarr::cedarGet.
You might access to a detail of the way http responses are structured with:
help("API response", package = "cedarr")
# ?cedarr::`API response`
{cedarr} is accessible under CC-BY 2.0. It relies on CEDAR and NCBO Bioportal services.
