Microsoft R Server’s operationalization
feature enables data scientists to deploy and consume web services to operationalize their R analytics. The
publishService()
function in
mrsdeploy
package can be used to publish an R code block as a new web service. After it has been deployed, the web service can be:
There are several tools like
Azure AutoRest
,
Swagger Codegen
,
Swagger.io
which can be used to generate API client library from swagger.json file in your preferred programming language. Now, we will look into generating API client library in R using the
httr
package.
Using the below R code snippet, data scientists/application developers can quickly generate API Client Library in over 40 different languages immediately after publishing the web service in their R session
. This method requires no extra setup, no software download/installation.
After running the above code snippet, you will find the client library in a zip file in current working directory. Unzip the file, add nuget package dependencies, add authentication workflow, add client code and begin consuming the APIs. Here is a
detailed article
.
To generate Client Library in your preferred language, just replace the language in httr::POST URL
http://generator.swagger.io/api/gen/clients/
<language>
with one of the supported languages:
akka-scala, android, apex, async-scala, bash, clojure, cpprest, csharp, CsharpDotNet2, cwiki, dart,
dynamic-html, eiffel, elixirperl, flash, go, groovy, html, html2, java, javascript, javascript-closure-angular,
