Overview

About

Maintained by Alper KucukuralCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

'Via Foundry' API provides streamlined tools for interacting with and extracting data from structured responses, particularly for use cases involving hierarchical data from Foundry's API. It includes functions to fetch and parse process-level and file-level metadata, allowing users to efficiently query and manipulate nested data structures. Key features include the ability to list all unique process names, retrieve file metadata for specific or all processes, and dynamically load or download files based on their type. With built-in support for handling various file formats (e.g., tabular and non-tabular files) and seamless integration with API through authentication, this package is designed to enhance workflows involving large-scale data management and analysis. Robust error handling and flexible configuration ensure reliable performance across diverse data environments. Please consult the documentation for the API endpoint for your installation.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("viafoundry", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("ViaScientific/viafoundry-R-SDK")

Development version from ViaScientific/viafoundry-R-SDK. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-viafoundry

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-viafoundry

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-viafoundry

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
