Overview

About

Maintained by Drew ConwayCRAN page ↗

This package provides functions to access all of the APIs currently available infochimps.com. For more information see http://api.infochimps.com/.

Install

R (source archive)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/infochimps/infochimps_0.3.1.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "infochimps_0.3.1.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (0.3.1) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.
