These functions are no longer supported because of changes to the Kaggle API and will be removed in a future version of pins. We recommend that you use the Kaggle CLI instead.

board_kaggle_competition() allows you to treat a Kaggle competition like a read-only board, making it easy get the data on to your computer. board_kaggle_dataset() lets you upload and download files to and from a kaggle dataset. Data is only re-downloaded when it changes.

These boards work best with pin_download() and pin_upload() since pin_read() and pin_write() are not a good fit to the Kaggle model.

Usage

board_kaggle_competitions(username = NULL, key = NULL, cache = NULL)

# S3 method for class 'pins_board_kaggle_competition'
pin_search(
  board,
  search = NULL,
  sort_by = c("grouped", "prize", "earliestDeadline", "latestDeadline", "numberOfTeams",
    "recentlyCreated"),
  page = 1,
  user = NULL,
  ...
)

board_kaggle_dataset(username = NULL, key = NULL, cache = NULL)

# S3 method for class 'pins_board_kaggle_dataset'
pin_search(
  board,
  search = NULL,
  sort_by = c("hottest", "votes", "updated", "active"),
  page = 1,
  user = NULL,
  ...
)

# S3 method for class 'pins_board_kaggle_dataset'
pin_store(
  board,
  name,
  paths,
  metadata,
  versioned = NULL,
  ...,
  private = TRUE,
  license = "CC0-1.0"
)

Arguments

username, key

Typically you'll authenticate using the "~/.kaggle/kaggle.json" file downloaded from your account page (by clicking "Create New API Token". However, if necessary you can supply the username and key arguments here; this can be useful for testing.

cache

Cache path. Every board requires a local cache to avoid downloading files multiple times. The default stores in a standard cache location for your operating system, but you can override if needed.

board

The name of the board to register.

A string to search for in pin name and title. Use NULL to return all pins.

sort_by

How to sort the results.

page

Which page of results to retrieve.

user

If non-NULL filter to specified user.

...

Additional parameters required to initialize a particular board.

name

An optional name used identify the board. This is no longer generally needed since you should be passing around an explicit board object.

paths

A character vector of file paths to upload to board.

metadata

A list containing additional metadata to store with the pin. When retrieving the pin, this will be stored in the user key, to avoid potential clashes with the metadata that pins itself uses.

versioned

Should this board be registered with support for versions?

private

Should the dataset be private (TRUE, the default) or public (FALSE)?

license

How should the data be licensed?

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
board <- board_kaggle_competitions()
board

board %>% pin_meta("titanic")
paths <- board %>% pin_download("titanic")
paths
head(read.csv(paths[[1]]))
head(read.csv(paths[[2]]))
} # }
if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
board <- board_kaggle_dataset()

board %>% pin_search("cats")
board %>% pin_exists("rturley/pet-breed-characteristics")
board %>% pin_meta("rturley/pet-breed-characteristics")
board %>% pin_versions("rturley/pet-breed-characteristics")

board %>% pin_versions("imsparsh/animal-breed-cats-and-dogs")
} # }
