# ReadStream$to\_\*

### ReadStream.<mark style="color:purple;">to\_\*</mark>(*\*\*args*)

ReadStreams support the same methods as [Tables](https://docs.redivis.com/api/client-libraries/redivis-r/reference/table) for reading out data (e.g., as a tidyverse tibble).&#x20;

Note that the `max_results`  and `variables` parameters will be ignored when these methods are called on a ReadStream. To restrict ReadStreams to specific variables, pass the `variables` argument when constructing the stream in `$to_read_stream(variables=c())`.

Additionally, the following standard to\_\* methods are *not* supported on ReadStreams:&#x20;

* `to_directory()`
* `to_read_streams()`&#x20;

Full documentation can be found in the reference for the appropriate Table method:
