Personality-Database API — personality

Collect data from the personality-database API.

Usage

personality_database(profiles = "famous", category = "all",
  outFile = NULL, sort = "alphabet", start = 0, limit = Inf,
  retry = 10, sleep_time = 60, verbose = TRUE,
  cache = paste0(tempdir(), "/personality_database/"), list_cache = NULL,
  cores = detectCores() - 1)

Arguments

profiles: Name of the profile list, between famous, fictional, and discovery.
category: Name of the profile category, as listed under each list, or all (default).
outFile: Path to a .csv file to save results as.
sort: How the profile list should be sorted, between alphabet (default), hot, new, or top.
start: Profile from the list to start on.
limit: Maximum number of profiles to include.
retry: Logical; if TRUE, will retry after a failed attempt.
sleep_time: Number of seconds to wait between retries.
verbose: Logical; if FALSE, will not display status messages.
cache: Path to a directory in which to save raw responses.
list_cache: A saved profile list, or path to such a file, to collect scores for. Providing this avoids collecting a list initially.
