Method terms_and_conditions()

Function to retrieve and accept terms and conditions. Accepting T&C is permanent, it is enough to run this function one. To read T&C see show_terms.

Usage
Client$terms_and_conditions(term_id, reject = FALSE)
Arguments
term_id

A character vector of term_ids that you wish to accept. If missing current status is returned. Use "all" if you want to accept all terms at once.

reject

Logical, default 'FALSE'. If TRUE it inverts the operation and the provided term_id's are rejected/revoked.

Returns

A data frame reflecting the actual acceptance status for each term.

Method datasets()

Usage
Client$datasets(pattern = NULL)
Arguments
pattern

Optional character string to filter dataset names by matching text.

Returns

List containing datasets and associated information.

Method search()

Usage
Client$search(json_query, limit = NULL)
Arguments
json_query

Character string representing the search query.

limit

Optional; a number specifying the maximum number of results to return.

Returns

An instance of the SearchResults class containing the search results.

Method get_querytemplate()

Retrieves the raw query metadata for a specified datasetId.

Usage
Client$get_querytemplate(datasetId, to_json = FALSE)
Arguments
datasetId

Character, representing the dataset's identifier.

to_json

Logical; if 'TRUE', returns the data in JSON format.

Returns

Returns

A JSON representing the generated query template.

Method clone()

The objects of this class are cloneable with this method.

Usage
Client$clone(deep = FALSE)
Arguments
deep

Whether to make a deep clone.

Note

There are some inconsistencies between the return of 'GET querymetadata' and what must be submitted to the HDA. Use generate_query_template to resolve these inconsistencies.
