A policy to parse a response body as JSON

Create a reusable tidy policy that applies resp_tidy_json_tibblify().

Usage

tidy_policy_json_tibblify(
  spec = NULL,
  unspecified = "list",
  subset_path = NULL
)

Arguments

spec

(tspec or NULL) A specification used by tibblify::tibblify() to parse the extracted body of resp. When spec is NULL (the default), tibblify::tibblify() will attempt to guess a spec.

unspecified

(length-1 character) A string that describes what happens if the extracted body of resp contains fields that are not specified in spec. While tibblify::tibblify() defaults to NULL for this value, we set it to list so that the body will still parse when resp contains extra data without throwing errors.

subset_path

(character) An optional vector indicating the path to the "real" object within the body of resp. For example, many APIs return a body with information about the status of the response, cache information, perhaps pagination information, and then the actual data in a field such as data. If the desired part of the response body is in data$objects, the value of this argument should be c("data", "object").

Value

A list with class "nectar_tidy_policy" and elements tidy_fn and tidy_args.
