Data collection using computer-assisted personal interviewing or CAPI tools is now the standard approach for conducting surveys and studies. A wide range of CAPI systems are currently being used. The ability to interface with these systems helps in the overall data process. This package provides interface functions to CAPI systems based on the Open Data Kit or ODK technology.
Currently, okapi
provides functions to interface with two ODK-based
systems: ONA and
KoboToolbox via their respective APIs. The
current set of functions perform the following tasks:
-
Authenticate with the respective servers using either an account password or an API token;
-
List resources in the server available to interface with; and,
-
Get data or resources from the server to R.
okapi
is not yet available on CRAN.
You can install okapi
from the RapidSurveys R
