algorithmia-r

R client library for accessing the Algorithmia API

Calling algorithms

First make a client object:

client <- getAlgorithmiaClient("ALGORITHMIA_API_KEY")

Then get the algorithm object:

algorithm <- client$algo("algo://AUTHOR/ALGORITHM_NAME/VERSION")

Call pipe passing in the input to the algorithm:

response <- algorithm$pipe(input)

There are two fields in the result. The meta data (which has timing data) and the result.

result <- response$result

Deployment

• Verify that the Version field in the DESCRIPTION file has had its version updated per proper semantic versioning from the previous version in CRAN
• Ensure that CI build passes successfully
• Inside a Docker container with the image for that stage with the local directory bind-mounted (ex: docker run -it --rm -v pwd:/algorithmia-r <docker image from .gitlab-ci.yml>)
  • cd /algorithmia-r
  • Run all commands test:check_as_cran CI stage defined in .gitlab-ci.yml
• Verify that the submission follows all CRAN policies.
• Submit the new package https://xmpalantir.wu.ac.at/cransubmit/
  • Name: Robert Fulton
  • Email: rfulton@algorithmia.com
  • Package: <the tar.gz file that was created from the build>
  • Optional comment:
• Monitor email to rfulton@algorithmia.com for any CRAN emails
  • At the very least, an email should come through asking to confirm the submission. This must be done before the submission will appear in CRAN.
• Wait for the version of the library in CRAN is updated with the changes submitted
• Create a new Git tag on the commit submitted to CRAN. This should include the major, minor, and patch versions (ex: 0.3.0).
• Push any Git tags / release branches up to Github.
