I've never connected to an API in R and I am a bit confused on how to just approach it. I am looking to pull flight price data from rapid-api (I have an account) into my R console. Here is the API (to my knowledge) on their website, what script would I start with to connect to this API?
The httr
package has a GET()
and a add_header()
function, that let you replicate the functionality I see in the "Code Snippets" tab.
Can't test it, but it should look something like this:
library(httr)
GET(
url = rapidapi_url,
config = list(x-rapidapi-key = API_KEY,
x-rapidapi-host = HOST_URL,
useQueryString = TRUE),
inboundpartialdate = "2019-12-01"
)
