Use R with the Ripple-REST API.
Ripple is an Internet protocol for making financial transactions.
The Ripple-REST API provides a simplified, easy-to-use interface to the Ripple Network via a RESTful API.
The R package ripplerestr uses the httr package to communicate with Ripple-REST.
Before you can use the Ripple-REST API, you will need to have three things:
- An installed version of Ripple-REST running locally or remotely. Instructions on installing Ripple-REST can be found in the README.md file in the Github repository.
- An activated Ripple account.
- The URL of the server running the Ripple-REST API that you wish to use.
Download the latest release and install it.
You can alternatively install the current version from GitHub:
if (!require("devtools")) install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("hmalmedal/ripplerestr")
Load ripplerestr and set the URL.
library(ripplerestr)
options("ripplerestr.url" = "http://localhost:5990/")
