catapultR

The catapultR package exists to allow users seamless access to Catapult data through a series of functions that act as wrappers around API queries. It helps democratise the ability to create data science projects among our advanced users. This site contains information about how to use the catapultR package and also includes several examples.

What if… we could access Catapult data straight into R software environment and help to democratise the ability to create data science projects among our advanced users?


As a response to the above ‘what if’ vision, the Data Science team at Catapult created catapultR. catapultR is essentially* composed of wrapper functions of our API to provide users the ability to access their data from the cloud.
