prodpad

The prodpad packages exposes higher level APIs to extract tibbles with ProdPad information (for example, products, feedback, ideas, etc.) from the ProdPad API.

In addition, prodpad provides a low level wrapper around the ProdPad API - the pp() function.

Installation

You can install the development version of prodpad from GitHub with:

# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("andrie/prodpad")

Authenticating against the API

To get started, you need a ProdPad API key. This can be found by going to: Profile => API Keys. (Or use prodpad::browse_api_key() to navigate there interactively)

Then export that API key as an environment variable, e.g. in .Renviron:

PRODPAD_API_KEY=my-api-key

Example

This is a basic example which shows you how to solve a common problem:

library(prodpad)
pp_get_products()

Acknowledgements

Cole Arendt also wrote a prodpad package, using R6 classes to represent the connection to Prodpad. However, this implementation was inspired by the gh package by Gábor Csárdi. I found the ideas of gh to be more flexible and ported gh in its entirety to the pp() function in prodpad.
