This function is used by other functions to read and write values.
Usage
kernel_api(
redcap_uri,
post_body,
config_options,
encoding = "UTF-8",
content_type = "text/csv",
handle_httr = NULL,
encode_httr = "form"
)Arguments
- redcap_uri
The uri/url of the REDCap server typically formatted as "https://server.org/apps/redcap/api/". Required.
- post_body
List of contents expected by the REDCap API. Required.
- config_options
A list of options passed to
httr::POST(). See details athttr::httr_options(). Optional.- encoding
The encoding value passed to
httr::content(). Defaults to 'UTF-8'.- content_type
The MIME value passed to
httr::content(). Defaults to 'text/csv'.- handle_httr
The value passed to the
handleparameter ofhttr::POST(). This is useful for only unconventional authentication approaches. It should beNULLfor most institutions.- encode_httr
The value passed to the
encodeparameter ofhttr::POST(). Defaults to"form", which is appropriate for most actions. (Currently, the only exception is importing a file, which uses "multipart".)
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().
