Description

There are a number of different GET and POST endpoints in the GWAS database API. This is a generic way to access them.

Usage

api_query(

  query = NULL,
  opengwas_jwt = get_opengwas_jwt(),
  method = "GET",
  silent = TRUE,
  encode = "json",
  timeout = 300
)

Arguments

path	Either a full query path (e.g. for get) or an endpoint (e.g. for post) queries
query	If post query, provide a list of arguments as the payload. NULL by default
opengwas_jwt	Used to authenticate protected endpoints. Login to https://api.opengwas.io to obtain a jwt. Provide the jwt string here, or store in .Renviron under the keyname OPENGWAS_JWT.
method	"GET" (default) or "POST", "DELETE" etc
silent	TRUE/FALSE to be passed to httr call. TRUE by default
encode	Default = "json", see httr::POST for options
