Fetch contact information from social media

This is a wrapper around the three `socials_xxx()` functions. `socials_gh()` starts (ideally) with a GitHub username to fetch contact info from GitHub, followed by `socials_ro()` which checks rOpenSci author pages and finally, if Mastodon handles have not been found `socials_masto()`.

Usage

socials_fetch(
  github = NULL,
  name = NULL,
  pkg = NULL,
  owner = "ropensci",
  which_cols = c("github", "name", "mastodon"),
  force_masto = FALSE,
  quiet = FALSE
)

Arguments

github

Character. Github username

name

Character. Alternatively, a full name (can be slow if `pkg` not also provided).

pkg

Character. Repository name for an rOpenSci package (in the `ropensci` organization)

owner

Character. (Optional) Owner of the repository.

which_cols

Character vector. Social handles to include defaults to "github", "name", "mastodon".

force_masto

Logical. Whether to force a re-fetching of Mastodon handles.

quiet

Logical. Whether to suppress progress messages.

Value

Data frame of contact information

Details

This workflow generally assumes that the person has a GitHub username. You can supply name, which will trigger a search for the GitHub username for you. This will search all of the rOpenSci organization for users with that name which can take a while. However, if you supply a name and a `pkg` (repository in rOpenSci), it can be much faster.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # local_eg()
socials_fetch("steffilazerte")
socials_fetch(name = "Steffi LaZerte", pkg = "weathercan")
socials_fetch(name = "Bart Vanhoorne", pkg = "worrms")
socials_fetch(name = "Maelle Salmon", pkg = "babelquarto", owner = "ropensci-review-tools")
}
