Plumber: Converts Your Existing R Code to a Web API
plumber is an R package that converts your existing R code to a web API.
Here are just a few ideas of the doors that are opened to you when you wrap your R code in a Plumber API:
- Software written in other languages (java, python, etc) in your organization can run your R code.
- You can have some third-party receive emails on your behalf and then notify your Plumber service when new messages arrive.
- You can write JavaScript code that queries your Plumber API from a visitor’s web browser. Even further, you could use Plumber exclusively as the back-end of an interactive web application.
