Document 'NoSQL' Database DBI Connector

R database connector for creating, reading (querying and listing fields), updating and deleting of individual or many JSON documents, providing a common API across supported databases ('SQLite', 'PostgreSQL', 'DuckDB', 'MariaDB' or 'MySQL' as well as 'NoSQL' databases 'MongoDB', 'CouchDB' and 'Elasticsearch').

NASA POWER API Client

An API client for NASA POWER global meteorology, surface solar energy and climatology data API. POWER (Prediction Of Worldwide Energy Resources) data are freely available for download with varying spatial resolutions dependent on the original data and with several temporal resolutions depending on the POWER parameter and community. This work is funded through the NASA Earth Science Directorate Applied Science Program. For more on the data themselves, the methodologies used in creating, a web-based data viewer and web access, please see < https://power.larc.nasa.gov/>.

R Client for the eBird Database of Bird Observations

A programmatic client for the eBird database (< https://ebird.org/home>), including functions for searching for bird observations by geographic location (latitude, longitude), eBird hotspots, location identifiers, by notable sightings, by region, and by taxonomic name.

An R Interface to 'figshare'

An R interface to 'figshare'.

Connector to 'CouchDB'

Provides an interface to the 'NoSQL' database 'CouchDB' (< https://couchdb.apache.org/>). Methods are provided for managing databases within 'CouchDB', including creating/deleting/updating/transferring, and managing documents within databases. One can connect with a local 'CouchDB' instance, or a remote 'CouchDB' database such as 'IBM Cloudant'. Documents can be inserted directly from vectors, lists, data.frames, and 'JSON'. Targeted at 'CouchDB' v2 or greater.

Species Trait Data from Around the Web

Species trait data from many sources, including sequence data from NCBI (< https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/>), plant traits from BETYdb, and data from EOL Traitbank and BirdLife International.

R Interface to the 'DataONE' REST API

Provides read and write access to data and metadata from the 'DataONE' network < https://www.dataone.org> of data repositories. Each 'DataONE' repository implements a consistent repository application programming interface. Users call methods in R to access these remote repository functions, such as methods to query the metadata catalog, get access to metadata for particular data packages, and read the data objects from the data repository. Users can also insert and update data objects on repositories that support these methods.

'NOAA' Weather Data from R

Client for many 'NOAA' data sources including the 'NCDC' climate 'API' at < https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cdo-web/webservices/v2>, with functions for each of the 'API' 'endpoints': data, data categories, data sets, data types, locations, location categories, and stations. In addition, we have an interface for 'NOAA' sea ice data, the 'NOAA' severe weather inventory, 'NOAA' Historical Observing 'Metadata' Repository ('HOMR') data, 'NOAA' storm data via 'IBTrACS', tornado data via the 'NOAA' storm prediction center, and more.

Functional Programming Tools

A complete and consistent functional programming toolkit for R.

A High-Performance Taxonomic Database Interface

Provides fast access to many commonly used taxonomic authorities in a uniform Darwin Core format. Tables are read directly from versioned Parquet snapshots, streamed from cloud storage or from a local copy, and queried with familiar 'dplyr' verbs.
