人口普查批量地理编码API,其中R中的数据框(不是CSV)中的源地址

我正在尝试将人口普查局的批量地理编码器(http://geocoding.geo.census.gov/geocoder/Geocoding_Services_API.pdf)与R一起使用。输入地址位于数据框中,而不是CSV。由于地址是中间步骤,我不想将它们写入CSV。

我已经在stackoverflow上阅读了几篇帖子。 Hadley的解决方案(Posting to and Receiving data from API using httr in R)说明了如何上传现有的CSV文件。 MrFlick的解决方案(Uploading a csv to an api in R)似乎接近我想要的但使用字符串,而不是数据框。

这就是我对代码的看法:

#generate data frame of test addresses for this example
a = c(1, 2, 3) 
b = c("125 Worth Street", "258 Broadway", "8 Centre Street") 
c = rep("New York", 3) 
d = rep("NY", 3)
e = c("10013","10007","10007")
addresses = data.frame(a,b,c,d,e)

#names specified by API documentation
colnames(addresses) <- c("Unique ID","Street address","City","State","ZIP")

apiurl <- "http://geocoding.geo.census.gov/geocoder/geographies/addressbatch"

req <- POST(apiurl, body=list(
    addressFile = RCurl::fileUpload(
        filename = "test.csv", 
        contents = addresses
    ), 
    benchmark = "Public_AR_Census2010",
    vintage = "Census2010_Census2010"
    ), 
    encode="multipart"
)
stop_for_status(req)

提前致谢。

如果您愿意将数据写入临时文件......

library("httr")
a = c(1, 2, 3) 
b = c("125 Worth Street", "258 Broadway", "8 Centre Street") 
c = rep("New York", 3) 
d = rep("NY", 3)
e = c("10013","10007","10007")
addresses = data.frame(a,b,c,d,e)
colnames(addresses) <- c("Unique_ID","Street address","City","State","ZIP")
apiurl <- "http://geocoding.geo.census.gov/geocoder/geographies/addressbatch"
file <- tempfile(fileext = ".csv")
write.csv(addresses, file, row.names = FALSE)
req <- POST(apiurl, body=list(
    addressFile = upload_file(file), 
    benchmark = "Public_AR_Census2010",
    vintage = "Census2010_Census2010"
  ), 
  encode="multipart"
)
content(req, "text", encoding = "UTF-8")
