Lifecycle: experimental R-CMD-check

The {REDCapTidieR} package provides an elegant way to import data from a REDCap database into an R environment. It builds upon the {REDCapR} package to query the REDCap API and then transforms the returned data into a set of tidy tibbles.

{REDCapTidieR} is especially useful for dealing with complex databases that are longitudinal or include repeated instruments or both.

Installation

You can install the development version of REDCapTidieR like so:

devtools::install_github("CHOP-CGTDataOps/REDCapTidieR")

Getting Started

Use read_redcap_tidy() together with bind_tables() to import data from all instruments into your environment.
