In tfaber/wetransfeR: Send large files

A R package to send (large) files

This package builds on the wetransfer open API (https://developers.wetransfer.com/) which allows users to send large files (of any kind; up to 2GB per file). To be able to use the package you need to obtain a (free) api key at the forementioned link.

(the WeTransfer API is unfortunately not longer supported)

Installation

You can install the development version from Github:

library(devtools)
install_github("tfaber/wetransfeR")
library(wetransfeR)

The package leverages on httr, jsonlite package functions.

Usage

Using this package you can use the send_wetransfer() function and include a reference to the path where your files are stored, your api key, a name and (optional) description of the transfer:

send_wetransfer("path/to/files","somekey","my_first_transfer","some nice files")

Plans

This is the very first version of the package, there are multiple improvements/ extensions planned:

• add options for asynchronous evaluation using the future package
• allow for transfers of URL objects (see https://developers.wetransfer.com/documentation)

Please let me know if I can make improvements in the code!
