Some of the endpoints now return HATEOAS style links to get more data. E.g., the patent endpoint may return a link such as: "https://search.patentsview.org/api/v1/inventor/fl:th_ln:jefferson-1/". Use this function to fetch details from those links.

Usage

retrieve_linked_data(url, api_key = Sys.getenv("PATENTSVIEW_API_KEY"), ...)

Arguments

url

A link that was returned by the API on a previous call.

api_key

API key, it defaults to Sys.getenv("PATENTSVIEW_API_KEY"). Request a key here.

...

Curl options passed along to httr2's req_options when we do GETs or POSTs.

Examples

if (FALSE) {

retrieve_linked_data(
  "https://search.patentsview.org/api/v1/cpc_group/G01S7:4811/"
)
}
