cllovers {colourlovers}

Retrieve a user (lover)

Description

Retrieve a lover (user) or set of lovers from the COLOURlovers API.

Usage

cllovers(set = NULL, ..., fmt = "xml")

cllover(user, comments = FALSE, fmt = "xml")

Arguments

set

Optionally, a subset of COLOURlovers palettes. Allowed values are “new” and “top”.

...

A named list of parameters passed to the API request. Allowed parameters are orderCol, sortBy, numResults, and resultOffset. Specifying orderCol overrules any argument to set. See details.

fmt

A format for the API response, one of “xml” (the default) or “json”. This has essentially no effect on function behavior.

user

The COLOURlovers username for a specific user.

comments

A boolean indicating whether to include the last ten comments for the user. Default is FALSE.

Details

Retrieve details about a COLOURlovers user or users.

Specifying named arguments to ... allows the user to request a specific response, as follows:

• orderCol: A character string containing a sort criterion. One of “dateCreated”, “score”, “name”, “numVotes”, “numViews”.

• sortBy: A character string containing either “ASC” (for ascending by the orderCol criterion, the default) or “DSC” (for descending).

• numResults: A numeric value indicating the number of results to return, with a maximum of 100. Default is 20.

• resultOffset: A numeric value indicating the page of results to return, with page size specified in the numResults argument.

Value

A list of class “cllover”, including details about one or more users. This should be the same regardless of the value of fmt.
