Send GET request ignoring response?

Post Body

Trying to build out an API endpoint that only queries and then sends data to a database.

I want to do this for multiple sources so I can query the data in parallel.

Once the endpoints are done - where a get request kicks off the data gathering process and stores the data in a db - how can I hit the endpoint to run it, without needing to wait for a response? I’ve seen similar code in Python but not R, for example...

I think this this is what I want to do in R. Data can then be kicked off to gather from multiple sources and once I’ve verified all the data is in the DB I can pull the aggregated data into R.
