  attachmentId,
  destination = NULL,
  overwrite = FALSE
)

Arguments

experimentId

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# Returns the attachment as a binary blob:
attachment <- downloadAttachment(experimentId, attachmentId)
# Parse it as text:
readBin(attachment, character())

# Saves the attachment to disk:
downloadAttachment(experimentId, attachmentId, destination = "dir/file.txt")

# Use the byName helper to avoid finding the attachment ID:
downloadAttachment(experimentId, byName("file.txt"))
} # }
