Democratizing R with Plumber APIs
summary
Plumber converts R functions into HTTP endpoints so an R model becomes a JSON-returning POST endpoint that other apps can call; annotations plus OpenAPI runtime overrides let the API surface request body schemas and a try-it UI inside RStudio IDE. The demo loads a saved model, accepts mtcars-like JSON, returns predicted miles-per-gallon values, logs requests via filters, runs locally or deploys to RStudio Connect for concurrency, and a Swift mobile app successfully consumes the endpoint. Plumber APIs serialize responses automatically.
