RCurl swMATH ID: 7334 Software Authors: Duncan Temple Lang Description: RCurl: General network (HTTP/FTP/...) client interface for R The package allows one to compose general HTTP requests and provides convenient functions to fetch URIs, get & post forms, etc. and process the results returned by the Web server. This provides a great deal of control over the HTTP/FTP/... connection and the form of the request while providing a higher-level interface than is available just using R socket connections. Additionally, the underlying implementation is robust and extensive, supporting FTP/FTPS/TFTP (uploads and downloads), SSL/HTTPS, telnet, dict, ldap, and also supports cookies, redirects, authentication, etc. Homepage: http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/RCurl/index.html Source Code: https://github.com/cran/RCurl Dependencies: R Related Software: R; ggplot2; rvest; httr; shiny; foreign; dplyr; jsonlite; XML; data.table; RStudio; twitteR; stringr; testthat; readr; RJSONIO; RODBC; rjson; tidyr; htmlwidgets Cited in: 5 Publications all top 5 Cited by 9 Authors 1 Arnholt, Alan T. 1 Baumer, Benjamin S. 1 Gandrud, Christopher 1 Horton, Nicholas J. 1 Kaplan, Daniel T. 1 Lang, Duncan Temple 1 Militino, Ana Fernández 1 Ugarte, Maria Dolores 1 Zhao, Yanchang Cited in 3 Serials 1 Statistical Science 1 Chapman & Hall/CRC Texts in Statistical Science Series 1 Chapman & Hall/CRC The R Series Cited in 2 Fields 5 Statistics (62-XX) 3 Computer science (68-XX) Citations by Year
