(2009) <doi:10.1016/j.jbi.2008.08.010>, Harris, et al. (2019) <doi:10.1016/j.jbi.2019.103208>) is a web application for building and managing online surveys and databases developed at Vanderbilt University. The API allows users to access data and project meta data (such as the data dictionary) from the web programmatically. The 'redcapAPI' package facilitates the process of accessing data with options to prepare an analysis-ready data set consistent with the definitions in a database's data dictionary.
