Welcome to alis.exchange playground for R

To open the README.md file in preview mode press down ⇧ + ⌘ + v for Mac or shift + ctrl + v for Windows.

This repo houses the quickstart example part of the alis.exchange documentation for R.

We have preconfigured the development environment for you to easily make your first request without having to worry about any setup.

Make a request using R

1. Open up the terminal (Mac: ⌘ + j, Windows: ctrl + j ) and ensure that you are in the playground-R directory.

If executing this example on Gitpod, run the following command from the terminal if you are not in the playground-R directory:

$ cd workspace/playground-R

2. Run the code by running the terminal command:

$ Rscript booksConsume.r

Interested in trying something for yourself?

We suggest creating your own function and incorporating a request to the BooksClient. Some suggestions of things to try:

• Loop through all the books and print out the author.
• Get a book and wrangle the response to be printed out in a sentence structure.
• Use the response of ListBooks to make multiple GetBook requests.
