Read a CSV file hosted on Figshare

read_figshare_csv.Rd

Figshare's download redirector (ndownloader) can block a bare read_csv(url) call because the figshare.com/ndownloader redirect path returns a 202 Accepted response instead of a direct 302 → S3 hop. This wrapper normalises both common URL forms to the ndownloader.figshare.com subdomain (which redirects reliably to S3), downloads the file with download.file(), then hands the local copy to readr::read_csv(). Within an R session the file is kept in a temporary cache directory so repeated calls for the same URL skip the network entirely.

Usage

read_figshare_csv(url, ...)

Arguments

url

A Figshare ndownloader URL in either of the two common forms:

  • "https://ndownloader.figshare.com/files/40275934" (canonical)

  • "https://figshare.com/ndownloader/files/40275934/subject.csv" (also accepted; the hostname and optional trailing filename are normalised automatically).

...

Additional arguments forwarded to readr::read_csv().

Value

A tibble::tibble() as returned by readr::read_csv().
