Hello,
Limesurvey is a fantastic program and R is the best statistical program there is. But I do'nt like exporting using the R export module. Fortunately it is extremely simple in R to read data directly from limesurvey, using RemoteControl 2 and the wonderful limer package made by Andrew Heiss. Here attached is an example.

Success!
Frans

Hey !

Seems VERY COOL !

It's great if you can take time to update our manual for this : www.limesurvey.org/manual/RemoteControl_2_API

And maybe put a link to github.com/andrewheiss/limer ;)

Hi Denis,
I have sent the file to info@limesurvey.org with request to add this to the manual. The link is in the tekst.
I hope it is usefull to many people.

Hi fransmarcelissen,

T
Our manual is a wiki, we already have some work with debugging/patching/improve. It's best if you can update the manul.

I udpdate it : www.limesurvey.org/manual/RemoteControl_...R_example_and_helper but know nothing of R ....

Can I get any help here

Is now redirecting to github.com/cloudyr/limer .
Anyone currently using limer.

A connection with LS 2.06LTS via R is resulting in
"Argument 'txt' must be a JSON string, URL or file."" at get_session.

A RPC-JSON access to the same installation via other code (e.g. C#) is working fine.

I see in github.com/cloudyr/limer/issues/11 you spoke for https : did you force https in LS admin part ?

Denis

I am using limer x times a day.
Installing in the following way works perfectly on my system. limer is now part of the (unfinished) cloudyr project. Limer is not fully stable, but can be used.

if (!require("devtools")) {
install.packages("devtools")
library("devtools")
}
install_github("cloudyr/limer")

The documentation on www.limesurvey.org/manual/RemoteControl_2_API has to be updated. I am willing to do this, but could anyone show me how I can do that? The example has to be updated as well.

Agnostic setting: Don't enforce...
Since there is no issue when accessing it via C# I'm currently looking for issues in R.
E.g. the library R uses to access via TLS/SSL might have issues with certain ciphers.
Or a small glitch with the UTF8 handling.

The guide is fine. The current instructions on the WIKI are fine. The redirection to the new GITs is working.

Since you still use the current package without a glitch can you tell us, what version of R is used?
Which OS? Linux,Mac or Windows?

Might be a problem with the OS in combination with R.

Thanks to both of you.

When you follow this link and log-in you should be able to edit pages.
www.limesurvey.org/manual/index.php?titl...=RemoteControl+2+API

I use windows 10 and ubuntu linux (several versions, for instance 14.4). I also use several versions of R (mostly 3.1.2). No problems experienced.
Could you please report more in detail where you recieve which error messages? Than I could try to replicate it.
The documentation has to be updated because the output type of the main routine (call_limer) whas changed by the author in the last version.
