koboloader's Issues

Kobo data viewer API

Hello
I've just Installed the koboloadeR package, ran the kobo_apps("data_viewer") but the API seems not working. Any suggestions about that?

Data viewer not generating list of data set

Installed/loaded the koboloadeR package, ran the kobo_apps("data_viewer") but no data set list populated in progression. Attached the output.

Worked well earlier but then stopped after the 3rd time run.

Handling of existing datasets needs to be improved

Can we:

Use something other than the number of rows to identify whether the dataset should be re-downloaded? Perhaps the _id variable that is automatically created (and is unique).
Add a function to pass queries to the dataset before downloading (and if yes, should we then not automatically assign the output)?
Figure out a more acceptable way of working with the data rather than putting it in the .GlobalEnv (perhaps put it in an environment itself)?

Unable to Access Large Datasets

I am trying to use the Kobo API and have issues using the kobo_data_downloader() function to download large datasets. These are the messages printed in the console.

Large Datasets (+2000) will not download
Parsed with column specification:

cols(
  `<html>` = col_character()
)

Datasets that aren't huge, download just fine
Parsed with column specification:

cols(
  detail = col_character()
)

Integrate a Shiny App for viewing the data

This should work:

See this post for how it is integrated into a package:

data deleted from kobotoolbox, but still recovered by koboloader

Hello Ananda
it's strange
but i deleted some data from kobotoolbox,
and koboloader from the same form continues to retrieve them.
Thank You

Parsing Error

I am downloading forms and keep getting the following error after a few days of using the form:

Parsed with column specification:
cols(
<!DOCTYPE html> = col_character()
)
Warning: 3 parsing failures.
row col expected actual file
5 -- 1 columns 4 columns
10 -- 1 columns 2 columns
58 -- 1 columns 2 columns )

I just saw many people reporting 404 errors with the server so this may be what is causing it with the link.

Explore options other than assign.
Store login information in some way.
Add a progress bar to get_me (just add progress() in there).

get labels in the export

Coudl be great to get the labels in the exported data set

see: kobotoolbox/kobocat#101

One option there might be to get the form definition in order to get the lablel (see some tentative approach here: https://github.com/unhcr-iraq/protection-monitoring/blob/gh-pages/code/1-loaddata.R#L38:L70
