RPushbullet is an R client for the wonderful Pushbullet messaging / notification system. So what is Pushbullet? Pushbullet is an awesome (and free) little service that acts as a message broker. You sign up, and get a key to use the API. You then install the \"app\" on your smartphone or Chrome browser (and obtain a device id for of these). You can also query your account with the pbDevices() function to retrieve these ids. Presto. Now you can send messages between them by invoking pbPost() . Example With a resource file (see below) properly setup, you can just do something like the following and a message like the image following below should pop up (if messaging directed to the browser): Another excellent use case was suggested years ago by Karl Broman in this blog post. We can improve on his version a little as one no longer needs to load the package: There was one noteworthy follow-up for which I lost the source: it suggested to make the message somewhat saltier by relying on the helpful rfoaas package. Documentation Package documentation, help pages, a vignette, and more is available here. Package Status The package is reasonably mature and functional. Up until release 0.2.0, an external curl binary was used. We have since switched to using the curl package. Given that the Pushbullet API has other nice features, future extensions are certainly possible and encouraged.
