This is a convenience wrapper for the GTmetrix API 2.0.
I whipped up a small library to talk to GTmetrix via R. There’s some
basic sanity checking baked in, but obviously this is still work in
progress and there are (potentially critical) bugs. Feel free to check
it out, though. If you need help, take a look at the manuals. A good
point to start is ?start_test.
If you have feedback and/or points for improvement, feel free to open an issue / PR here on Github. I would love to hear from you!

# Install and load library.
devtools::install_github("RomanAbashin/rgtmx")
library(rgtmx)# Returns the final report (after checking for completion roughly every 3 seconds).
result <- start_test("google.com", "[API_KEY]")This will start a test and wait for the report to be generated,
returning the result as data.frame. Optionally, you can just simply
return the test ID and other meta data via the parameter
wait_for_completion = FALSE.
# Returns just the test ID and some meta data. Does not wait for report completion.
result <- start_test("google.com", "[API_KEY]", wait_for_completion = FALSE)Other optional parameters are: location,
browser, report, retention,
httpauth_username, httpauth_password,
adblock, cookies, video,
stop_onload, throttle, allow_url,
block_url, dns, simulate_device,
user_agent, browser_width,
browser_height, browser_dppx,
browser_rotate.
Please consult the manual via ?start_test or the
GTmetrix API documentation for further information.
