In its current state, the SaaS software is free to use with some constraints around the volume of data and the frequency of API calls. One of the functions of uncovr API takes an input of number of observations i.e. rows and number of independent variables namely columns and gives an output. This output is in the form of a json file and has many other elements besides the dependent and independent variables. This function extractDf helps in extracting the dataframe from the json.
