statewide.survey.tools provides some helper functions for working with Statewide Survey data in R. It includes helpers for downloading data from REDCap, cleaning data using Stata code, and connection to the Airtable API.
You can install the development version of statewide.survey.tools from GitHub with:
# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("ucsf-bhhi/statewide.survey.tools")To download REDCap data or connect to Airtable, you'll need API keys.
For information on REDCap API keys (also called tokens), see: https://redcap.ucsf.edu/api/help/?content=tokens
For information on Airtable API keys, see: https://airtable.com/appOLCptG2wxvoGtH/api/docs#curl/authentication
After obtaining the API keys you'll need to store them in a .Renviron file in the same directory as your R code. See here for more information.
Think of these API keys as a password, so don't share them. If you're using Git make sure to add .Renviron to your .gitignore.
The package expects the REDCap main project key to be stored as MAIN_REDCAP_API_KEY and the RDS project key to be stored as RDS_REDCAP_API_KEY.
The package expects the Airtable API key to be stored as AIRTABLE_API_KEY.
