radous allows you to generate random user data from the Random User Generator API which can be useful in many situations :
You can generate up to 5000 observations in one query.
You can radous from CRAN with:
radous is extremely simple to use and has one function: get_data().
Suppose we want to generate 10 random user data:
library(radous)
get_data(n = 10)
# A tibble: 10 x 34

library(dplyr)
random_image <- get_data(n = 1) %>% select(picture_large) %>% pull()
htmltools::img(src = random_image, height = "150px", width = "150px")
Note that All randomly generated photos come from the authorized section of UI Faces.
radous 👨🏫The generated data has 34 variables (columns) with different types of information that you can play with. The data frame is particularly suited for teaching the tidyverse, here some examples:
Here we select columns that are related to users’ location:
library(tidyverse)
df <- get_data(n = 500, seed = "123")
df %>% select(contains("location"))
