Add testing for API use

[inodb]

As more clients are relying on the cBioPortal API we should add testing to make sure these clients' basic functionality works.

• Valdidate Swagger schema, see also https://github.com/cBioPortal/cbioportal/pull/10101
  • maybe this can be done in the maven compilation process?

For R clients

• Check if rapiclient
• Check if cBioPortalData works
• Check if gnomeR works (https://github.com/MSKCC-Epi-Bio/gnomeR)

For Python client

• Check if bravado works

Can use this for inspiration: https://docs.cbioportal.org/web-api-and-clients/

@inodb I think cbioportalR (not gnomeR) is meant to be on this list? Thanks

@karissawhiting thank you! Is cbioportalR a replacement of gnomeR?

@karissawhiting thank you! Is cbioportalR a replacement of gnomeR?

cbioportalR has always been the data pulling package whereas gnomeR is focused on basic processing and analysis of genomic data.

We'd love to get cbioportalR linked in the cBioPortal API docs if you think it's appropriate.

Happy to chat more if you have any questions. Thank you!
