In nicholasmfraser/rdimensions: R Client for the Dimensions Analytics API

Description

Make a basic query request to the Dimensions Analytics API

Usage

dimensions_query(query = NULL, format = "list")

Arguments

query	(character) String containing a raw Dimensions Search Language query.
format	(character) The format in which data should be returned. One of "list" or "json"

Examples

# The most basic query: search and return all publications
dimensions_query(query = "search publications return publications")

# Return results in JSON format
dimensions_query(query = "search publications return publications",
format = "json")

# Dimensions automatically limits results to 20 records. Add a "limit" clause
to increase the number of returned results
dimensions_query(query = "search publications return publications limit 100")

# Search for a specific DOI. Note that quotation marks surrounding DOIs must
be escaped by placing a backwards slash (\) in front of the quotation marks.
You may find the `paste` and `paste0` functions helpful to build longer query
strings.
my_query <- paste0("search publications",
                   "where doi = \"10.3389/frma.2018.00023\"",
                   "return publications")
dimensions_query(query = my_query)

Language](https://docs.dimensions.ai/dsl/) documentation.
