Acknowledgements

Source code generation was made possible by:

• ts-morph for navigating the TypeScript AST of the official JavaScript client source and extracting the HTTP request methods into JSON.
• jsonlite for parsing objects from JSON to R.
• rlang (and the metaprogramming capabilities of R) for programmatically generating function definitions and parameter and return type documentation.
