Could not find function "qualtrics_register_options" when load the package "qualtRics".

[Louis8102]

Dear Author of the package, I followed the tutorial at https://quantdev.ssri.psu.edu/tutorials/using-qualtrics-and-boxr-r-packages to set API TOKEN and root_url info for authorization for downloading my survey data. However, my R-studio prompts two messages as follows:

1) Error Message: Error in qualtrics_register_options(verbose = verbose, useLabels = useLabels, : Cannot pass both base_url and root_url. Please use 'base_url' only. In addition: Warning message: In registerOptions(api_token = "dkLDk7Oy8i7430odW9kGOTl9FtvL5V0ljuctK1SC", : 'registerOptions' is deprecated and will be removed in version 4.0 of qualtRics. Please use 'qualtrics_register_options' instead. 2)When I followed the instructions to use "base_url" and 'qualtrics_register_options' , the new message said that Could not find function "qualtrics_register_options" .

Hope you can help us!

Thank you!

Hello there @Louis8102! I am the new maintainer of this package. I know it's been a number of months since you posted this issue; thanks for your patience.

This package is in a bit of flux right now and is not back on CRAN yet, but I wrote a new, simpler approach for using your Qualtrics credentials in R. If you can install from GitHub using the remotes package:

install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("ropensci/qualtRics")

Then you can try using the new, simpler approach to handling API credentials:

library(qualtRics)
qualtrics_api_credentials(api_key = "<YOUR-QUALTRICS_API_KEY>", 
                          base_url = "<YOUR-QUALTRICS_BASE_URL>",
                          install = TRUE)

Check out the documentation for qualtrics_api_credentials(), and let me know if you have any problems!
