Both of these applications fulfill a great need of mine: to read data
directly from google spreadsheets that are private to myself and one or two
collaborators. Thanks to the authors. I had been using RGoogleDocs for the
about 6 months (maybe more) but have had to stop using it in the past month
since for some reason that I do not understand it no longer reads google
spreadsheets. I loved it. Its loss depresses me. I started using RGoogleData
which works.
I have noticed that both packages read data slowly. RGoogleData is much
slower than RGoogleDocs used to be. Both seem a lot slower than if one
manually downloaded a google spreadsheet as a csv and then used read.csv
function - but then I would not be able to use scripts and execute without
finding and futzing.
Can anyone explain in English why these packages read slower than a csv
download?
Can anyone explain what the core difference is between the two packages?
Can anyone share their experience with reading Google data straight into R?
