BYU-I Course Project Data

Data details

There are 30 rows and 2 columns. The data source¹ is used to create our data that is stored in our pins table. You can access this pin from a connection to posit.byui.edu using hathawayj/nicotine_test.

This data is available to all.

URL Connections:

For public data, any user can connect and read the data using pins::board_connect_url() in R.

library(pins)
url_data <- "https://posit.byui.edu/data/nicotine_test/"
board_url <- board_connect_url(c("dat" = url_data))
dat <- pin_read(board_url, "dat")

Use this custom function in Python to have the data in a Pandas DataFrame.

import pandas as pd
import requests
from io import BytesIO

def read_url_pin(name):
  url = "https://posit.byui.edu/data/" + name + "/" + name + ".parquet"
  response = requests.get(url)
  if response.status_code == 200:
    parquet_content = BytesIO(response.content)
    pandas_dataframe = pd.read_parquet(parquet_content)
    return pandas_dataframe
  else:
    print(f"Failed to retrieve data. Status code: {response.status_code}")
    return None

# Example usage:
pandas_df = read_url_pin("nicotine_test")

Authenticated Connection:

Our connect server is https://posit.byui.edu which you assign to your CONNECT_SERVER environment variable. You must create an API key and store it in your environment under CONNECT_API_KEY.

Read more about environment variables and the pins package to understand how these environment variables are stored and accessed in R and Python with pins.

library(pins)
board <- board_connect(auth = "auto")
dat <- pin_read(board, "hathawayj/nicotine_test")

import os
from pins import board_rsconnect
from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv()
API_KEY = os.getenv('CONNECT_API_KEY')
SERVER = os.getenv('CONNECT_SERVER')

board = board_rsconnect(server_url=SERVER, api_key=API_KEY)
dat = board.pin_read("hathawayj/nicotine_test")
