skilljaR

skilljaR is an R wrapper for the Skilljar API.

Installation

Install from CRAN with install.packages("skilljaR").

Install the development version with devtools::install_github("chrisumphlett/skilljaR").

Functionality

The motivation for this package was to replicate, and improve upon, the manual enrollments data export in the Skilljar portal. The results of get_course_progress() joined back together with the results of get_users() should reproduce that export but with additional fields. Some of the columns are named differently.

Security

Utilizing the API requires a token. This must be obtained by logging in at dashboard.skilljar.com and going to Organization / API Credentials. There are different strategies for storing api tokens securely. This package does not require nor nudge you towards any one strategy. That said, it is an unnecessary risk to store the token in the script!
