问题
I have a shiny app that takes an input file in Json Runs it through a classifier and returns a classified Json object. I want the app to be able to communicate with an API. I want the API to post a file to the Shiny App which will do its work and return a classified object. Basically I want the Shiny app to sit in the background until a file is posted and then do its work. I know that I can use GET from the httr package to get a file from a url. I can put this in the shiny.server file which is fine if I know the file name for the get command
However the filenames coming from the API will be different. So is there any way that I can make this dynamic according to the Post request that comes from the API.

If you do not have to use Shiny, you can use openCPU. OpenCPU provides each of your R packages as REST service automatically. I work with OpenCPU and it works fine! It is the easiest way to use R from another program.
