REDCapExporter

Automated Construction of R Data Packages from REDCap Projects

v0.3.4 · Mar 9, 2026 · GPL-2

Description

Export all data, including metadata, from a REDCap (Research Electronic Data Capture) Project via the REDCap API <https://projectredcap.org/wp-content/resources/REDCapTechnicalOverview.pdf>. The exported (meta)data will be processed and formatted into a stand alone R data package which can be installed and shared between researchers. Several default reports are generated as vignettes in the resulting package.
