In denisStukal/Rvk: Access to VK (VKontakte) API through R

Description

Returns the number of posts/replies that mention a query string.

Usage

getGroupWallSearchCount(group_id, query, access_token)

Arguments

group_id	A numeric ID of the VK group. Available from the group's page (see Details).
query	A string to search on a group page.
access_token	Your access token (see ?makeAccessToken).

Details

Many VK groups have their ID as part of their URL address (e.g. https://vk.com/publicGROUPID, where GROUPID is a sequence of numbers). In the event a group has a screen name that does not show its ID in the URL, one can access it by clicking on any group post (or photo, video, etc.): the post will open with a new URL of the form https://vk.com/SCREENNAME?w=wall-GROUPID_POSTID). Pass GROUPID (without the minus sign in front of it) to the function call.

Value

Numeric (the number of posts/replies that mention a query string)
