# data.world-r
[](https://circleci.com/gh/datadotworld/data.world-r)
The `data.world` package is the main R package for working with datasets
on [data.world](https://data.world).
Using this packages users can:
* Query and join datasets
* Choose between SQL and SPARQL
* Publish insights
* Use data.world's REST API (via included `dwapi` package)
# Getting Started
To get started, load the library and checkout the `quickstart` vignette.
```R
library(data.world)
vignette("quickstart", package = "data.world")
```
Here is a simple example:
```R
intro_ds <- "https://data.world/jonloyens/an-intro-to-dataworld-dataset"
sample_query <- data.world::qry_sql(paste0(
"SELECT t.Name, t.Height, s.AssistsPerGame ",
"FROM DataDotWorldBBallTeam as t ",
"JOIN DataDotWorldBBallStats as s ON t.Name = s.Name ",
"ORDER BY s.AssistsPerGame DESC"))
data.world::query(sample_query, dataset = intro_ds)
```
Notice that `dataset` is parameter required by most functions and can be provided in two formats:
1. URL: "https://data.world/jonloyens/an-intro-to-dataworld-dataset"
2. Path: "jonloyens/an-intro-to-dataworld-dataset"
# Publishing Insights
For your convenience, this package allows you to publish
[insights](https://meta.data.world/showcasing-your-data-work-using-insights-9c578698275b)
to
[data projects](https://meta.data.world/introducing-data-projects-e7cfa971b552)
without leaving R Studio.
Using R Studio's "Addins" menu, look for `DATA.WORLD > New insight`.
The add-in will automatically capture the active plot in R Studio's plot
view and give you the opportunity to quickly choose the project, and enter
title and description for your insight.
## Installation
To install directly from GitHub:
```R
devtools::install_github("datadotworld/data.world-r", build_vignettes = TRUE, ref = "main")
```
**Note:** You will need to have the devtools package for R installed to run the previous command. If that is not already installed, you can install it from CRAN using the command:
```R
install.packages("devtools")
```
## Configuration
First, users must obtain an API authentication token at: https://data.world/settings/advanced
**IMPORTANT**: For your security, do not include your API authentication token in code that
is intended to be shared with others.
Configuration can be provided in 3 forms:
* Via config file
* Via environment variables
* At runtime
Config files are the most convenient configuration method. Once saved
configuration will be automatically restored when `data.world` is loaded.
From the R console:
```R
saved_cfg <- data.world::save_config("YOUR API TOKEN")
data.world::set_config(saved_cfg)
```
For additional configuration options, see `?set_config`
# Next
Check out the `quickstart` and `query` vignette and the package documentation (`?data.world`).
```

> ?data.world

# Notes
We've removed the package from CRAN and recommend installing directly from Github.
