Rvk: Access to VK (VKontakte) API through R

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) References Examples

Returns a data.frame with publicly available information about posts/replies that mention a query string.

1	searchGroupWall(group_id, query, access_token, verbose = FALSE)

`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).
`verbose`	Boolean: suppress informational messages if FALSE (default).

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.

A data.frame with columns:

`object_id`	A numeric ID of a post or reply mentioning the query string.
`from_user_id`	A numeric user ID who wrote the post or reply.
`group_id_wall`	A numeric ID of the group on which wall the post or reply was made.
`date`	Date.
`date_POSIXct`	POSIX date (number of seconds since January 1, 1970).
`post_type`	Post or reply.
`to_post_id`	For replies: a numeric ID of the post the reply replies to. NA for posts.
`text`	Text mentioning the query string.
`comments_count`	Number of comments the post/reply received.
`likes_count`	Number of likes the post/reply received.
`reposts_count`	Number of reposts the post/reply received.
`views_count`	Number of views the post/reply received.
