MTurkR (version 0.8.0)

DisposeHIT: Dispose HIT

Description

Dispose of a HIT that is no longer needed. You can only dispose of HITs that are Reviewable, with all assignments either approved or rejected.

Usage

DisposeHIT(hit = NULL, hit.type = NULL, annotation = NULL,
           response.group = NULL, 
           verbose = getOption('MTurkR.verbose', TRUE), ...)

Arguments

hit

A character string containing a HITId or a vector of character strings containing multiple HITIds. Must specify hit xor hit.type xor annotation.

hit.type

An optional character string containing a HITTypeId (or a vector of HITTypeIds). Must specify hit xor hit.type xor annotation.

annotation

An optional character string specifying the value of the RequesterAnnotation field for a batch of HITs. This can be used to dispose of all HITs from a “batch” created in the online Requester User Interface (RUI). To use a batch ID, the batch must be written in a character string of the form “BatchId:78382;”, where “73832” is the batch ID shown in the RUI. Must specify hit xor hit.type xor annotation.

response.group

An optional character string specifying what details of each HIT to return of: “Minimal”, “HITQuestion”, “HITDetail”, “HITAssignmentSummary”. For more information, see Common Parameters and HIT Data Structure.

verbose

Optionally print the results of the API request to the standard output. Default is taken from getOption('MTurkR.verbose', TRUE).

...

Additional arguments passed to request.

Value

A data frame containing a list of HITs and whether the request to dispose of each of them was valid.

Details

Dispose of a HIT (and its assignment data) when it is no longer needed. Must specify a HITId or a HITTypeId, but not both. HITTypeId uses the SearchHITs operation to locate HITs of the specified HITType before disposing of them.

disposehit() is an alias.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
# Dispose a single HIT
b <- GenerateExternalQuestion("http://www.example.com/","400")
hit1 <- 
CreateHIT(hit.type = "2FFNCWYB49F9BBJWA4SJUNST5OFSOW", 
          expiration = seconds(days = 1),
          question=b$string)
ExpireHIT(hit1$HITId) # must be expired before disposing
DiposeHIT(hit1$HITId)

# Dispose all HITs of a given HITType
DisposeHIT(hit.type = hit1$HITTypeId)

# Dispose all HITs of a given batch from the RUI
DisposeHIT(annotation="BatchId:78382;")
# }
