Connecting

From R

The RStudio IDE provides a push-button publishing experience for some content types. See the Connecting - RStudio IDE chapter for details.

If you need to publish a type of content that doesn't support push-button publishing or if you want to publish from R code or the R console, follow these instructions to get started.

You will need the following information to connect your account:

• The Posit Connect server URL
• Your username on the Connect server
• An API Key from the Connect server. See the API Keys chapter.

First, install the rsconnect R package:

install.packages("rsconnect")

Then use the rsconnect::connectApiUser() function to configure your account information:

rsconnect::connectApiUser(
    server="connect.mydomain.com",
    account="myusername",
    apiKey="micOXRF89vCQgEr1DovGQMyhmsASz1sf")

Now you're ready to publish! See the Publishing from R chapter.
