Feature request: Using metadata in shinyapps.io. #1092

Open gbenuola opened 1 month ago

gbenuola commented 1 month ago

A customer in ticket 107187 has requested the following. It would be great if:

The metadata was exposed at shinyapps.io - perhaps at shinyapps.io/settings. the metadata for an app could be retrieved with an API call. The API could search for apps by metadata.

Great. I am the customer. My full request was as follows:

I have deployed an app and provided custom metadata. I see this metadata appear in /rsconnect/shinyapps.io//.dcf I wonder if I should find this metadata elsewhere/elsehow in the shiny environment. It would be great if:

  • the metadata was exposed at shinyapps.io - perhaps at shinyapps.io/settings
  • the metadata for an app could be retrieved with an API call
  • the API could search for apps by metadata

Am I missing that this is already somehow possible? Thanks!
