Get your data from the Hawkin Dynamics API
hawkinR provides simple functionality with Hawkin Dynamics API. These functions are for use with ‘Hawkin Dynamics Beta API’ version 1.10-beta. You must be an Hawkin Dynamics user with active integration account to utilize functions within the package.
Install the released version of hawkinR from CRAN:
install.packages("hawkinR")Or install the development version from GitHub:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("HawkinDynamics/hawkinR")This API is designed to get data out of your Hawkin Dynamics database into your own database. It is not designed to be accessed from client applications directly. There is a limit on the amount of data that can be returned in a single request. As your database grows, it will be necessary to use the from and to parameters to limit the size of the responses. Responses that exceed the memory limit will fail. It is advised that you design your client to handle this from the beginning. A recommended pattern would be to have two methods of fetching data. A scheduled pull that uses the from and to parameters to constrain the returned data to only tests that have occurred since the last fetch e.g. every day or every 5 minutes. And then a pull that fetches the entire database since you began testing that is only executed when necessary. A recommended way of doing this is to generate the from and to parameters for each month since you started and send a request for each either in parallel or sequentially.
This package was meant to help execute requests to the Hawkin Dynamics API with a single line of code. There are 11 functions to help execute 4 primary objectives:
hawkinR uses a secure, profile-based authentication system designed for both local development and production deployment.
hd_config_set(
profile = "dev",
org_name = "my_org",
region = "Americas"
)hd_auth_set_secret(
profile = "dev",
secret = "<YOUR_API_TOKEN>"
)hd_config_use("dev")All subsequent API calls will authenticate automatically.
In production environments, keyring access may not be available. Instead, inject secrets via environment variables.
Example setup:
# set by hosting platform
Sys.setenv(
HAWKINR_PROFILE = "prod",
HAWKINR_TOKEN = "<PRODUCTION_API_TOKEN>"
)
# in application startup
hd_config_set(
profile = "prod",
org_name = "my_org",
region = "Americas"
)
hd_auth_use_env_secret("HAWKINR_TOKEN")No secrets are written to disk.
hd_auth_status()Returns safe diagnostic information, including:
Secrets and tokens are never printed.
Clear cached access tokens:
hd_auth_redset()Remove stored secrets (local development only):
hd_auth_reset(remove_secret = TRUE)get_testTypes() - Get the test type names and ids for
all the test types in the system. Response will be a data frame
containing the tests that are in the HD system.get_athletes() - Get the athletes for an account.
Inactive players will only be included if `inactive` parameter is set to
TRUE. Response will be a data frame containing the athletes that match
this query.
get_teams() - Get the team names and ids for all the
teams in the org. Response will be a data frame containing the teams
that are in the organization.
get_groups() - Get the group names and ids for all
the groups in the org. Response will be a data frame containing the
groups that are in the organization.
get_forcetime() - Get the force-time data for a
specific test by id. This includes both left, right and combined force
data at 1000hz (per millisecond). Calculated velocity, displacement, and
power at each time interval will also be included.
get_tests() - Get the tests for an account. You can
specify none or any 1 of the parameters athlete, test type, teams or
groups; as well as a time frame from, or to, which the tests should come
(or be synced). Response will be a data frame containing the trials
within the time range (if specified).
Note: the legacy get_tests_type,
get_tests_ath, get_tests_team, and
get_tests_group helpers were deprecated in hawkinR v1.x and
removed in v2.0.0. Use get_tests() with the corresponding
typeId, athleteId, teamId, or
groupId argument instead.
This is a basic example which shows common workflow:
library(hawkinR)
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------------#
# 1. Get access to your site
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------------#
## Store you secret API key
refreshToken <- 'your-secret-api-key'
## Get access token. When successful, access token is stored for use in the session.
get_access("refreshToken", region = "Americas")
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------------#
# 2. Get Org data
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------------#
## Team data frame
teamList <- get_teams()
## Create list of teams
teamIds <- paste0(teamList$id[1],teamList$id[3],teamList$id[4])
## Athlete data frame
athList <- get_athletes()
## Create athleteId
athId <- athList$id[6]
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------------#
# 3. Get Test Data
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------------#
## Initial test call
allTests <- get_tests()
## Create last test or sync date
lastSync <- max(allTests$lastSyncTime)
## Create phase to review with timestamp from records
phaseDate1 <- allTests$timestamp[30] # from dateTime
phaseDate2 <- allTests$timestamp[10] # to dateTime
## Dates can also be entered as character strings in "YYYY-MM-DD" format
phaseDate1_string <- "2024-01-01"
phaseDate2_string <- "2024-06-01"
## Sync tests since a time point.
df_SyncFrom <- get_tests(from = lastSync, sync = TRUE)
## Get tests by athlete in time frame.
df_athTests <- get_tests(athleteId = athId, from = phaseDate1, to = phaseDate2)
## Get all tests by team
df_teamTests <- get_tests(teamId = teamIds)
## Get test force-time data
df_forceData <- get_forcetime(testId = df_athTests$id[10])
