That said, I have two issues to ask for help with: 1) how to ignore cert errors with a fromJSON call And 2) why the json data from the example link doesn't convert to a data frame. As seen in the following example library("rjson") result <- fromJSON(file =

Regarding the question: From the linux shell I use the "-k" switch with cURL to ignore cert errors.. is there an equivalent in the R world? I have (sometimes) had success by creating a .curlrc file and putting the necessary curl options in it. When R invokes curl, curl picks up the options.

[curl] -- I was hoping there was a cleaner way to do it.. using R to evoke cURL to get the data as text and then passing it into getJSON seems to be what I need to do. Do you by chance have an simple example of using RCurl to get a response ignoring cert errors? ty -Rich -----Original Message-----

Hi David, .. I think I've got it :-) Please let me know if you see anything glaringly wrong with this: library(RCurl) zWebObj <- postForm("https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/w/api.php", "action" = "ask", "query" = "[[Category:City]]|?Capital%20of|?Has%20area", "format" = "json" .opts = list(ssl.verifypeer =

Hello, I'm trying to use rjson to parse a JSON object. The object can be found here http://pastebin.com/np0s5hgM (you'll probably need to add quotes around the content) fromJSON returns the error glibc detected home/sguha/lib64/R/bin/exec/R: realloc(): invalid next size: 0x000000000209e210 *** Is there a fix coming soon? Maybe CRAN should also have an outstanding bug field -

Right. I'm trying to access a server within my organization which has a cert error that I cannot fix. The example link I provided was to a site on the web that does not have the cert error.

Hi Rich, Take a look at the function fromJSON found in the rjson package. Note that the Usage in the help page: ?fromJSON names the second argument 'file' but if you look at the description the argument can be a URL.

I?ve been tinkering and discovered that the link I need to read json data from is ?https? and there is a certificate warning that I have to click through from a browser. That might be my issue.

I'm trying to read two data sets in json format from a single .js file. I've tried fromJSON() in both RJSONIOIO and RJSON packages, but they require that the lines be pre-parsed somehow in ways I don't understand. Can someone help? > wheat <- readLines("http://mbostock.github.com/protovis/ex/wheat.js") > str(wheat) chr [1:70] "var wheat = [" "

Hello All - I am trying to use RJSONIO to read in some JSON files. I was wondering if anyone could please comment on the level of complexity of the files it can be used to read, exports from or directly from NoSQL DBMS like MongoDB and such. Also, i understand that in reading the JSON file RJSONIO will automatically create the necessary structures. However I cannot seem to use to to read the

I have come across an issue converting a JSON string in R (with either the package 'rjson' or 'RJSONIO') when big integers are included in the JSON string. A simple example of the problem is: > options(scipen=999) # To prevent representing the answer in scientific notation > json.str <- '{"bigInt":123456789123456789}' # Sample JSON string with big

Dear all, I have a data.frame with a column like the x shown below myDF<-data.frame(cbind(x=c("[[1, 0, 0], [0, 1]]", "[[1, 1, 0], [0, 1]]","[[1, 0, 0], [1, 1]]", "[[0, 0, 1], [0, 1]]"))) > myDF x 1 [[1, 0, 0], [0, 1]] 2 [[1, 1, 0], [0, 1]] 3 [[1, 0, 0], [1, 1]] 4 [[0, 0, 1], [0, 1]] As you can see my x column is composed of

Hello to everybody, I need to convert a json dataset in an R dataframe. I suppose that I'd need to use rjson or rjsonio package. The json dataset is: http://apistat.istat.it/?q=getdatajson&dataset=DCIS_POPSTRBIL&dim=1,0,0,0&lang=1&tr=&te= It would be nice if someone can help me to create a function like the one below:

Hello I am able to construct a url that points to some data online in the JSON format. See an example at [0]. I would like to work with this data as a dataframe in R. I know that there is a package for handling json data [1] but it assumes the data is in a local file but It is not clear to me how to request the data from the web in an R script and get the json data converted into a data frame

Hi All, has anyone run into maximum depth of nested JSON arrays in either rjson or RJSONIO ? I seem to be able to get up to 10 depth levels without problem, but crossing over to 11 either causes an error or fails to load the nodes properly. with RJSONIO I tried: a = fromJSON('data/myJSON.json', depth=1000) but I still get this error: Error in fromJSON(content, handler, default.size,

Dear all, I am new to R in general and ways to retrieve XML or JSON data in particular. I have tried to get information through the XML package and various websites without being able to do exactly what I want. I hope someone of you can give me some help. I want to retrieve information about movies from IMDB or rather the unofficial api, www.imdbapi.com. I have a vector with a lot movie-ids

Hi! I'm working on a package that must convert data to and from JSON. For this, it can use either the rjson package, or preferably, the faster RJSONIO package. I have two related questions about this. First, how can I specify that the package depends on *either* RJSONIO *or* rjson? (I.e. both are not required.) Second, what's the best-practice R idiom for such conditional loading?
