Convert a response from a Wikipedia API into a convenient format

Description

Wikipedia's APIs provide data using a range of different json schemas. This generic function converts the data into a convenient formats for use in an R data frame.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'wikidiff2'
parse_response(response)

parse_response(response)

## Default S3 method:
parse_response(response)

## S3 method for class 'row_list'
parse_response(response)

Arguments

response

The data retrieved from Wikipedia.

Value

A vector the same length as the response. Generally, this will be a simple vector, a tibble::tbl_df or a list of tibble::tbl_df objects.

Methods (by class)

• parse_response(wikidiff2): Simplify a wikidiff2 response to a dataframe of textual differences, discarding display data

• parse_response(default): By default, create a list of nested tbl_dfs

• parse_response(row_list): Many of the endpoints return a list of named values for each page, which can easily be row-bound. They often contain nested data, however, which is automatically unnested by dplyr::bind_rows. Hence this more basic approach.
