The {REDCapTidieR} package provides an elegant way to import data from a REDCap database into an R environment. It builds upon the {REDCapR} package to query the REDCap API and then transforms the returned data into a set of tidy tibbles.
{REDCapTidieR} is especially useful for dealing with complex databases that are longitudinal or include repeated instruments or both.
The release version can be installed from CRAN.
