The goal of {nettskjemar} is to have easy access to data and form information on the Nettskjema service by the University of Oslo, Norway. Currently the main possibilities is help in creating users and tokens for accessing Nettskjema through its API, downloading meta-data and codebooks about specific forms and data associated with a specific form.
Install the released version from CRAN with:
install.packages("nettskjemar")Newer releases can be installed through the authors r-universe:
# Enable this universe
options(repos = c(
lcbc_uio = 'https://CAPRO-UIO.r-universe.dev',
CRAN = 'https://cloud.r-project.org'))
# Install some packages
install.packages('nettskjemar')Install the development version from GitHub with:
# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("CAPRO-UIO/nettskjemar")Example
Currently, the package contains functions to download data from forms, including submission answers, meta-data, and codebook information. The most important, is the function that will download nettskjema submission data and return them as a data.frame. This needs only the id of a nettskjema.
