This report provides an update on a previous report, “An OpenAPI Pipeline for CPI Data”, which described the construction of an OpenAPI pipeline to produce a plot of CPI data. Two issues were identified with the original pipeline: the system requirements necessary to run the pipeline were significant; and the system requirements necessary just to run the OpenAPI glue system, the R package ‘conduit’, while much less, were still a potential obstacle to use of the pipeline by a lay audience. This report demonstrates solutions for both issues: a new “host” mechanism for OpenAPI modules to satisfy module system requirements; and an example of a user-friendly web front-end for running OpenAPI pipelines in ‘conduit’.
