Support pin_search on RStudio Connect when user is an admin

machow commented 2 years ago

See https://github.com/machow/pins-python/issues/27#issuecomment-1075633988

Currently, admin users on RStudio Connect can show a list of all pin content, including content they are not able to access. However, this leads to this bad situation:

admin user runs pin_search, it
searches all pins, including those they can't access
for matching pins, it attempts to access metadata

In order to resolve, we could catch failures to fetch metadata and have them return something with less information (e.g. pin name).

See:

where RSC calls multi_meta, which calls pin_meta, which attempts to fetch data.

+1 on behalf of customer. Use case is querying for existing pins as part of a shiny app. The application works when deployed but not locally due to the publisher being an admin, making for a challenging development process.

Also posting a reminder that pin_list() and pin_exists() may be suitable alternatives for users running into this issue, depending on what the use case is for running pin_search().
