rtimes-package: R interface to some of the New York Times APIs.

Description

R interface to some of the New York Times APIs.

Details

Functions that wrap these sets of APIs are prefixed by two letter acronyms fo reach API endpoint + the function name itself as for example `cg` + `fxn`

cf

geo

See the vignette for help.

Please get your own API keys at http://developer.nytimes.com/apps/register - you'll need a different key for each API.

I set up the functions so that you can put the key in your .Rprofile file, which will be called on startup of R, and then you don't have to enter your API key for each run of a function. Put these entries in your .Rprofile file

• options(nytimes_cg_key = "YOURKEYHERE")
• options(nytimes_as_key = "YOURKEYHERE")
• options(nytimes_cf_key = "YOURKEYHERE")
• options(nytimes_geo_key = "YOURKEYHERE")
