abstract: Wraps dozens of 'REDCap' API endpoints into a standardized R6 object. Research
  Electronic Data Capture ('REDCap') is a survey and database web application software
  maintained by Vanderbilt University. It has a robust application programming interface
  (API) utilized by several R packages. 'REDCapSync' uses 'redcapAPI' and 'REDCapR'
  behind-the-scenes to retrieve all metadata, data, and log details for a project.
  To minimize unnecessary server calls, the interim 'REDCap' log is analyzed and used
  to only update necessary records. Furthermore, the user can define custom datasets
  that save to a directory. Those datasets continue to refresh when projects are synced.
  Having a secure, standardized, API-efficient, project-agnostic R object for 'REDCap'
  projects, streamlines downstream use in scripts, functions, and shiny applications.
