Basic functions to perform tasks other than automating submissions

1. Load the package.

library(Rnumerai)

2. Set Public Key and Secret API key variables.

Get your public key and api key by going to numer.ai and then going to Custom API Keys section under your Account Tab. Select appropriate scopes to generate the key or select all scopes to use the full functionality of this package.

set_public_id("public_id_here")
set_api_key("api_key_here")

3. Get all information about your account

get_account()

3. Get all of your models in Main and Signal Tournament

• For Main Tournament

get_models(tournament=8)

• For Signals Tournament

4. Get number of the current active round.

get_current_round()

5. Get info on rounds in Main and Signal Tournament

• For Main Tournament

get_competitions(tournament=8)

• For Signals Tournament

get_competitions(tournament=11)

6. Set Bio and Link Field for a Model Id

set_bio(model_id = get_models()[["bayo"]], bio = "This Model Rocks")
set_link(model_id = get_models()[["bayo"]], link = "https://www.google.com",link_text = "Google")

7. Get all transactions in your wallet.

wallet_transactions()

8. Set a model's submission webhook used in Numerai Compute.

set_submission_webhook(model_id = get_models()[["bayo"]], webhook = "..")

9. Fetch round's model performance of any user

• For Main Tournament

round_model_performances(username = "bayo",tournament=8)

• For Signals Tournament

round_model_performances(username = "bayo",tournament=11)

10. Fetch Daily model performance of any user

daily_model_performances(username = "bayo",tournament=8)

• For Signals Tournament

daily_model_performances(username = "bayo",tournament=11)

11. Fetch Daily submission performance of any user

• For Signals Tournament

get_leaderboard(tournament=11)

13. Submission status of the last submission associated with the account

• For Main Tournament

model_id = get_models(tournament=8)[["bayo"]]
submission_status(model_id = model_id, tournament=8)

• For Signals Tournament

model_id = get_models(tournament=11)[["test5678"]]
submission_status(model_id = model_id, tournament=11)

14. Run a custom query

run_query(query = 'query{account{username}}', auth=TRUE)
run_query(query = 'query{rounds{number,closeTime}}', auth=FALSE)
