REDCapSync: Encapsulated REDCap Project Objects for Syncronized Data Pipelines

Wraps dozens of REDCap API endpoints into a standardized R6 object. Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) is a survey and database web application software maintained by Vanderbilt University. It has a robust application programming Interface (API) utilized by several R packages. 'REDCapSync' uses 'redcapAPI' and 'REDCapR' behind-the-scenes to retrieve all metadata, data, and log details for a project. To minimize unneccesary server calls, the interim REDCap log is used to retrieve only recently updated records. The user can define subsets, derived fields, and transformations that save to a user-defined directory. Having a standarized, API-effecient, project-agnostic R object streamlines downstream use in scripts, functions, and shiny applications.
