kgl_datasets_download error.

[guifsdev]

First of all, thank you for this amazing project!

I'm getting some issues when downloading a dataset from kaggle using the code bellow:

kgl_auth(creds_file = '~/.kaggle/kaggle.json')
kgl_auth()
data <- kgl_datasets_download(owner_dataset = "secareanualin/football-events", 
                               fileName = "events.csv")

I get the following error:

Error: lexical error: invalid char in json text.
                                       PK-
                     (right here) ------^

Any ideas?

When I try downloading .csv data using httr it looks like it doesn't come back in JSON format. Instead, it comes as "text/csv". I'll let you know if I figure out a way for it to return the result in a nicely formatted data frame.
sample_submission_unp <- GET("https://www.kaggle.com/api/v1/competitions/data/download/11000/sample_submission.csv", authenticate("ejharrit", kaggle_key, type = "basic"))
http_type(sample_submission_unp) [1] "text/csv"

[ejharrit]

using content with as ="parsed worked
content(sample_submission_unp, as = "parsed")

Hey how did you install the package? I used:
install.packages('devtools')
library(devtools)

install_github('mkearney/kaggler')
13
library(kaggler)
and I got the error:
Error in library(kaggler) : there is no package called ‘kaggler’

@cecilialiu0803 If I remember correctly, I had to install all the packages in a numbered list it kept giving me before this package finally installed. If that doesn't work for you it might be worth starting a new issue for this or posting in the devtools::install_github() instead of install_packages() issue.

@ejharrit Thank you so much!!!!! It works now.

[luliudata]

@ejharrit But how can I find my key, I cannot open the 'kaggle.json' file

[ejharrit]

@cecilialiu0803 you should be able to read it into r using
fromJSON("kaggle.json", flatten = TRUE) from the jsonlite package.
If that doesn't work you should also be able to right click the file and choose "open with" and select an app, like notepad, to open it and just read it manually.

Thanks Eddy, I’ll have a try. Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef>
