redcapAPI (version 2.8.0)

exportVersion: Export the REDCap Version Number

Description

These methods enable the user to export the REDCap instance version number.

Usage

exportVersion(rcon, ...)
# S3 method for redcapApiConnection
exportVersion(
  rcon,
  ...,
  error_handling = getOption("redcap_error_handling"),
  config = list(),
  api_param = list()
)

Value

Returns a character value giving the version number.

IF this function is used in a version of REDCap that does not support the method (prior to version 6.0.0), the value "5.12.2" will be returned. This is done solely for the convenience of always returning a value that can be compared against other versions.

Arguments

rcon

A redcapConnection object.
