Pretty old. Based on the information I would assume Ubuntu 16.04 or similar.
The server supports only a few ciphers and none of these is in the default cipher set used by IO::Socket::SSL in this old version. To work around explicitly allow a broader set of ciphers using ssl_opts
and SSL_cipher_list

QUESTION
I am trying to extract pubmed abstracts and their titles to place them in a dataframe. will the help of members stackoverflow, I was able to write the code below, which works. The issue now is that the number of rows in the abstracts variable is higher than that of pmid or title, therefore I am unable to merge them correctly. Looking at the structure of the xml file I have, it appears the abstracts have more than one ?node, that's why they get extracted in > one row. Any suggestion how to overcome that and have each abstract in one row, so I can merge the variables.
Here is my code:
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Sep-16 at 05:37Some articles come with the abstract spread in several sections (Objective, Methods, ....), some have just one entry and then some don't have an abstract at all. You'll have to take care of all these different scenarios.
xml::xmlToList()
can be used to extract a list from the xml data. We can then use purrr
's map*()
commands to flatten the data.
QUESTION
This is continuation for the same task I am trying to perform from this question. Working with pubmed api in R (httr) to retrieve abstracts
using the answer below, I am able to find the pubmed IDs for the abstracts of interest.
Now, I am trying to obtain the title and full text of these abstracts (as 2 columns dataframe, one for title and one for abstract text).
what I understood from the api documentation is that passing multiple IDs is possible, so I tried the code below.
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Sep-13 at 02:32The reqq1
is still just a string. You may use glue
to use actual value of pmids
. I think you can query multiple id's together in which case you can use paste0(..., collapse = ',')
to collapse the id's as one comma-separated string.
QUESTION
I am trying to work directly with the pubmed
api from R using httr
. There are excellent packages available such as RISmed
and easypubmed
but for this particular task, I need to interact directly with the api.
Using this set of instructions (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK25500/), I started with this code but the returned is a list without any details or pmid
. Any guidance is appreciated. or if you are aware of particular tutorials on using R in this setting.
ANSWER
Answered 2021-Sep-12 at 11:02You can read XML response and parse it to collect pubmed IDs, for instance:
QUESTION
I'm trying to pull xml data from some link with simplexml_load_file
.
This one xml node I am trying to access is an array with 4 elements.
Each element has a label which I am trying to read.
I try to read each label using the attributes()
function, but for some reason the function only returns the first node label.
ANSWER
Answered 2021-Aug-09 at 18:02SimpleXML::attributes only appears returns the attributes from the first element in the set.
Although undocumented, this is logical, because the attributes are keyed based on the attribute name, and PHP does not allow reuse of the "Label" key in this way. Even if they weren't, I guess it might be hard to distinguish which attributes applied to which elements.
You'll need to rewrite as a foreach
loop or similar.
QUESTION
When I try to convert an XML file (requested from an external server) to JSON, it seems to me that xml2json does convert it however, not to a correct JSON file. Is there something that needs to be adjusted. I seem to be missing quotes for the keys.
This is my current code
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Jul-02 at 15:10As far as I can tell, xml2js and xml2json are completely unrelated libraries. Which are you actually using - you mention both! xml2js doesn't claim to generate JSON, it claims to generate Javascript.
QUESTION
I'm trying to get some data using the NCBI API. I am using requests
to make the connection to the API.
What I'm stuck on is how do I convert the XML object that requests returns into something that I can parse?
Here's my code for the function so far:
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Jun-08 at 20:04You would use something like BeautifulSoup for this ('this' being 'convert and parse the xml object').
What you are calling your xml object is still the response object, and you need to extract the content from that object first.
QUESTION
I have been successful at extracting affiliation data from a single pubmed record, by using easyPubMed & lots of searching (I am still very new to R). The issue with the data is that it is only reporting one part of the affiliation information, I am assuming this is due to the various types of information in a non-standardised string.
My code is as follows:
