Overview

About

Maintained by Scott Chamberlain4 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Interface to 'APIs' for US government data previously under the 'Sunlight' Foundation, now under 'ProPublica' (https://www.propublica.org/datastore/'apis'), and Open States (http://docs.openstates.org/en/latest/api/). Functions are provided to interact with each of the routes in each API.

Install

R (source archive)pak (dev)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/rsunlight/rsunlight_0.7.0.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "rsunlight_0.7.0.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 (0.7.0) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("ropengov/rsunlight")

Development version from ropengov/rsunlight. Installs pak first if it is not already available.
