How to loop - JSONP / JSON data using R

问题

I thought I had parsed the data correctly using jsonlite & tidyjson. However, I am noticing that only the data from the first page is being parsed. Please advice how I could parse all the pages correctly. The total number of pages are over 1300 -if I look at the json output, so I think the data is available but not correctly parsed.

Note: I have used tidyjson, but am open to using jsonlite or any other library too.

library(dplyr)
library(tidyjson)
library(jsonlite)

 req <- httr::GET("http://svcs.ebay.com/services/search/FindingService/v1?OPERATION-NAME=findItemsByKeywords&SERVICE-VERSION=1.0.0&SECURITY-APPNAME=xxxxxx&GLOBAL-ID=EBAY-US&RESPONSE-DATA-FORMAT=JSON&callback=_cb_findItemsByKeywords&REST-PAYLOAD&keywords=harry%20potter&paginationInput.entriesPerPage=100")

txt <- content(req, "text")

json <- sub("/**/_cb_findItemsByKeywords(", "", txt, fixed = TRUE)

json <- sub(")$", "", json)

data1 <- json %>% as.tbl_json %>% 

  enter_object("findItemsByKeywordsResponse") %>% gather_array %>%       enter_object("searchResult") %>% gather_array %>%  
  enter_object("item") %>% gather_array %>%
  spread_values(
    ITEMID = jstring("itemId"),
    TITLE = jstring("title")
  ) %>%
  select(ITEMID, TITLE) # select only what is needed

No need for tidyjson. You will need to write another function/set of calls to get the total number of pages (it's over 1,400) to use the following, but that should be fairly straightforward. Try to compartmentalize your operations a bit more and use the full power of httr when you can to parameterize things:

library(dplyr)
library(jsonlite)
library(httr)
library(purrr)

get_pg <- function(i) {

  cat(".") # shows progress

  req <- httr::GET("http://svcs.ebay.com/services/search/FindingService/v1",
                   query=list(`OPERATION-NAME`="findItemsByKeywords",
                              `SERVICE-VERSION`="1.0.0",
                              `SECURITY-APPNAME`="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
                              `GLOBAL-ID`="EBAY-US",
                              `RESPONSE-DATA-FORMAT`="JSON",
                              `REST-PAYLOAD`="",
                              `keywords`="harry potter",
                              `paginationInput.pageNumber`=i,
                              `paginationInput.entriesPerPage`=100))

  dat <- fromJSON(content(req, as="text", encoding="UTF-8"))

  map_df(dat$findItemsByKeywordsResponse$searchResult[[1]]$item, function(x) {

    data_frame(ITEMID=flatten_chr(x$itemId),
               TITLE=flatten_chr(x$title))

  })

}

# "10" will need to be the max page number. I wasn't about to 
# make 1,400 requests to ebay. I'd probably break them up into 
# sets of 30 or 50 and save off temporary data frames as rdata files
# just so you don't get stuck in a situation where R crashes and you
# have to get all the data again.

srch_dat <- map_df(1:10, get_pg)
