在 RCurl 中使用 getURL 将查询参数设置为 API

Question

我正在尝试将 R 与 Hotwire Hotels 一起使用 API：以下是原始请求：

getURL(http://api.hotwire.com/v1/deal/hotel?dest=chicago&apikey=##############&format=JSON&limit=50&startdate=08/27/2015&enddate=08/28/2015)

但是，当我尝试将“开始日期and ‘enddate 作为参数传递时（见下文），它似乎没有选择日期。

getURL ("http://api.hotwire.com/v1/deal/hotel?dest=chicago&apikey=##############&format=JSON&limit=50",     
 httpheader=list(startdate=c_in,enddate=c_out))

在此方面如有任何帮助，我们将不胜感激。

Answer 1

httpheader参数用于传递headers，而不是查询参数

使用 RCurl::getForm

getForm("http://httpbin.org/get", .params = c(q = "ham"))

或使用httr::GET

GET("http://httpbin.org/get", query = list(q = "ham"))

Answer 2

你真的应该尝试切换到 httr，因为它使所有网络调用更清晰（API 文档说日期参数进入查询部分）：

library(httr)

c_in <- '08/02/2015'
c_out <- '08/05/2015'

hotwire_api_url <- "http://api.hotwire.com/v1/deal/hotel"

res <- GET(hotwire_api_url,
           query=list(dest="chicago",
                      apikey="########",
                      format="JSON",
                      limit=50,
                      startdate=c_in,
                      enddate=c_out))

# since return val is "text/x-json"

recs <- jsonlite::fromJSON(content(res, as="text"))

head(recs$Result)
