Read in Metadata from REDCap Project — redcap

This method allows you to read in the metadata for a project. To use this method, you must have API Export privileges in the project. If you're starting a new project and want to bulk upload records, you return = "template" to get a blank data.frame to populate. Otherwise, set return = "dictionary" to see all specs about project. You can send this dictionary to others to upload into their instance of REDCap.

url: Character, API url.
token: Character, token from project.
