Redirect the user to another URL

[Mark Edmondson]

Hi is it possible via Shiny to redirect users or update the URL?

I have an app that requests an API, which returns a security code in the URL.  Ideally I'd like to use shiny to read the parameter server side, and then redirect the user to a clean URL.  Is this possible, or does it need some JavaScript?

Thanks again for a great app,
Yours sincerely,
Mark

I think you'd have to write some Javascript to do this. This example of a Shiny app with Javascript might be helpful:

And here's how to redirect with Javascript:
