okapi: Open Data Kit (ODK)-based Computer-assisted Personal Interview (CAPI) Tools

Project Status: Active – The project has reached a stable, usable state and is being actively developed. Lifecycle: experimental

Data collection using computer-assisted personal interviewing (CAPI) tools is now the standard approach for conducting surveys and studies. A wide range of CAPI systems are currently being used. The ability to interface with these systems helps in the overall data process. This package provides interface functions to CAPI systems based on the Open Data Kit (ODK) technology.

What does the package do?

Currently, {okapi} provides functions to interface with ONA via its API. The current set of functions perform the following tasks:

  1. Authenticate with the respective servers using either an account password or an API token;

  2. List resources in the server available to interface with; and,

  3. Get data or resources from the server to R.

For more information on the {okapi} package, you can visit the project website. To learn about the underlying code for this software development project, see the GitHub code repository.
