The goal of gtakeout is to extract data from Google Takeout.
You can install the development version of gtakeout like so:
install.packages("gtakeout", repos = "https://jrosell.r-universe.dev")This is a basic example which shows you how to extract the reviews form a Takedown zip file.
library(gtakeout)
# devtools::load_all()
takeout_zipfile <- fs::dir_ls(here::here("data", "input"), glob = "*.zip") |>
head(1)
output_path <- fs::dir_create(here::here("data", "output"))
gtakeout_reviews(takeout_zipfile, exdir = output_path)
