Hello,
I'm looking for a way in which R can make my live easier.
Currently i'm using R convert data from a dataframe to json's and then sending
these json's to a rest api using a curl command in the terminal (i'm on a mac).
I've been looking for a way to use R for sending data from R to the rest api.
My primairy focus was on using R for executing the curl command, however, I'm
open to other approaches. The method I've been using so far:
I found some information online suggesting i'd use this code:
*js is a json from my R environment
Library(RCurl)
postForm("https://MYWEBSITE.eu/api/v2/organisations/abc/projects/cosson/datasets/DATABASE";,
.opts = list(postfields = js,
httpheader = c('Content-Type' = 'application/json', Accept =
'application/json'),
userpwd = "name:pwd",
ssl.verifypeer = FALSE))
(userpwd and url have been changed to hide sensitive information)
This leads to the following error: "Error: Unauthorized". I've filled out the
correct username and password, but I can't figure out why I'm getting this
error. This is the curl command I'm using:
curl -X POST -s --user "USERNAME:PASSWORD" -H "Content-type: application/xml"
-d...@test.json
"https://MYWEBSITE.eu/api/v2/organisations/abc/projects/cosson/datasets/DATABASE";
(userpwd and url have been changed to hide sensitive information)
The json file is build up like this:
{\n \"ID\": 601,\n \"100-100\": 0 }
But this is a small part, the actual json contains 555 variables
Thanks in advance for the help and let me know if something is unclear.
