I had some struggle with the information SoSci Survey provided, therefor I will share my knowledge in the answer.

Go to collected data -> download data -> GNU R
Click on enable API import
Now copy the command to R and execute it
It should look like: eval(parse("", encoding="UTF-8"))
Your default dataframe name is ds but can give it another name on the website.
Try e.g. summary(ds)
