Just a note on this earlier thread: R package collections for public APIs seem to be now emerging and thriving in various disciplines:
- Bioinformatics the Bioconductor collection contains many API packages - rOpenSci: R tools for open science-related APIs - rOpenHealth: R tools for open healthcare-related APIs - rOpenGov: R tools for open government data and computational social science (disclaimer: I am one of the main developers for this one) These community projects and aim to fill the gap discussed in this thread. The APIs and needs are many, and best tackled with community-driven package collections written by the actual users. Have a look at those projects - your contributions to any of them is certainly welcome. best, Leo Lahti -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/The-Future-of-R-API-to-Public-Databases-tp4293526p4690960.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
