R language example of how to engage with the https://podcastindex.org/ APIs

Setup:

1. Install R (from https://cran.r-project.org/)

2. Add your Key and Secret to the 'key.R' file

3. Install dependencies

• On Linux use your distro's equivilent of this ubuntu 20.04 example

sudo apt install libssl-dev openssl curl libcurl4-openssl-dev

How to run

• If run interactively the script prompts you for the search terms, api_key and api_secret with your api and key values provided by https://api.podcastindex.org.

• If run from the command line: first argument is all the search terms seperated by spaces, second argument must be the key.R filepath

This is just an example script for API interactivity, for implementation ideas see: shiny app.
