plotly_POST and unique folder/plot identifier number

1

My apologies if this is covered elsewhere, but I was not able to find a solution.

I am saving my R scripted plots to my public plotly account (plotly_POST(p, filename = “plot_name”, fileopt = “overwrite”). The plot is uploaded to my account, with a URL of “https://plot.ly/~username/79/plot_name/”. However, each time I upload a new plot with this same name, the sub-directory (a sequentially higher number) is updated. Is there any way to upload the plot to the same folder/directory (79) or to prevent the creation of that unique sub-folder in the URL? For example, so the plot URL is only “https://plot.ly/~username/plot_name/”?

Thank you, in advance.

Hey, so you’d just have to do what you’re currently doing, and set fileopt="overwrite" to avoid the problem of sequentially increasing plot id’s in your url.
