Extract tab-delimited data from response body — resp_body

This function gets tab-delimited data from an httr2_response and either saves it to a file or parses it into a data.frame in memory.

Usage

resp_body_tsv(resp, page = NULL, con = NULL, encoding = NULL)

Arguments

resp: httr2_response object, generated by e.g. httr2::req_perform() or fetch_stream()/fetch_paged().
page: integer (optional), response page number. If page > 1 then the table header is removed before saving to file. Only used when con is specified.
con: string or base::connection object (optional), the file in which to save the data.
encoding: string (optional), character encoding of the body text. If not specified, will use the encoding specified by the content-type, falling back to "UTF8" with a warning if it cannot be found. The resulting string is always re-encoded to UTF-8.

Value

By default, returns a data.frame. If con is not NULL, returns nothing and saves tab-delimited text to the file specified by con.

Examples

resp <- structure(
  list(method = "GET", url = "https://example.com",
       body = charToRaw("Entry\tGene Names (primary)\nP99999\tCYCS\n")),
  class = "httr2_response"
)

resp_body_tsv(resp)
#>    Entry Gene.Names..primary.
