Hi all,
I managed to put together an alpha version of a small R-Package named “pavloviaR” to download data-files from Pavlovia-Repositories directly.
Please see the Github-Repository or the PkgDown-Page for more information.
It is not on CRAN. So you have to use library(remotes) and install_github("lboel/pavloviaR") to install the package.
Feature-List:
- Generate Access Token using Pavlovia-Username and -Password
- Get a tibble of all projects (shared with you/ owned)
- Get a tibble of all Data Files in the data/-Directory (with Timestamp-Column)
- Merge the Data-File-Tibble (you can filter unwanted files before)´
Future releases will get more function parameters and a better structure. Right now I am working on generating Demo-Repositories and change status (running/pilot) from within R (e.g. get Pilot Token or inactivate project, if you have enough data).
Right now, I hope, that the package helps inexperienced/non-coding users to download and merge the generated data-files from the Pavlovia-Projects.
The whole package is experimental and please use it with caution (I do not perform any write-operations with the Access-Token (only reading operations), so the package should not do any harm).
Please note: I am not a member of the PsychoPy-Team and the whole package will be managed by me or other community-members (if someone is interested).
Please report issues in Github!
If you want to collaborate, PM me or open Pull-Requests. With more people involved, the package could be a great extension to the Pavlovia-Ecosystem. Especially, an extensive documentation would be nice for non-coding-users (only got a few hours per week for this side-project).
Hope, It works! (R Version greater than 4.0 is required)
Best,
Luke
