dxHTTPRequest. dxR 0.411.0

Usage

dxHTTPRequest(resource, data, headers = list(), jsonifyData = TRUE, alwaysRetry = FALSE)

resource: String URI of API method, e.g. "/file/new", or "/class-xxxx/describe", where "class-xxxx" is some entity ID on the DNAnexus platform.
data: R object to be converted into JSON, using RJSONIO::toJSON. If jsonifyData is set to FALSE, it is treated as a string value instead and passed through directly.
headers: List of HTTP headers to use, keyed by the header names.
jsonifyData: Whether to call RJSONIO::toJSON on data to create the JSON string or pass through the value of data directly. (Default is TRUE.)
alwaysRetry: Whether is it safe to retry the API call, meaning request is idempotent (assuming a non-error status code was received).

If the API call is successful, the parsed JSON of the API server response is returned (using RJSONIO::fromJSON).

Makes a POST HTTP Request to the DNAnexus API Server using stored configuration values.
