MTurkR

This is a fork of Thomas Leeper's excellent MTurkR package, which provides an R interface to Amazon Mechanical Turk's API. Note that I have written only a few lines of contribution code here, 99.9% is Tom's.

See http://www.thomasleeper.com/MTurkR/index.html for details, examples and other resources.

HOW TO INSTALL:

To install, run the following:

# install.packages("devtools")
library(devtools)
install_github(repo="MTurkR",
	username = "solomonm")

Examples (from Tom's website)

• Create and manage qualifications: http://www.thomasleeper.com/MTurkR/qualification_test_example.r, associated xml files: http://www.thomasleeper.com/MTurkR/questionform_example.xml and http://www.thomasleeper.com/MTurkR/answerkey_example.xml.

Fixes in this version:

• Up to date GetAssignment() function, which previously had to be loaded from Tom's website via source().
• I've made edits to the request() function that enables MTurkR to deal with free responses that contain non-ASCII input.
