The goal of leanpubr is to provide provides access to
the ‘Leanpub’ ‘API’ https://leanpub.com/help/api for gathering information
about publications and submissions to the ‘Leanpub’ platform.
You can install leanpubr from GitHub with:
# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("muschellij2/leanpubr")The main thing you need to do is get an API key from Leanpub. You can
do this by visiting https://leanpub.com/user_dashboard/api_key if you are an
author. If you are not an author, I don’t believe access to the API is
possible. You can pass this api_key to functions in Leanpub
(almost all prefixed by lp_), or you can set the
environmental variable LEANPUB_API_KEY. You can set this in
an interactive R session such as:
Sys.setenv("LEANPUB_API_KEY" = "YOUR_KEY")or put this in your ~/.Renviron:
LEANPUB_API_KEY = "YOUR_KEY"You can use lp_book_info to get information about any
book in Leanpub:
library(leanpubr)
slug = "biostatmethods"
res = lp_book_info(slug, error = FALSE, verbose = TRUE)
