Get 'SNP' ('Single-Nucleotide' 'Polymorphism') Data on the Web

A programmatic interface to various 'SNP' 'datasets' on the web: 'OpenSNP' (< https://opensnp.org>), and 'NBCIs' 'dbSNP' database (< https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/projects/SNP/>). Functions are included for searching for 'NCBI'. For 'OpenSNP', functions are included for getting 'SNPs', and data for 'genotypes', 'phenotypes', annotations, and bulk downloads of data by user.

Species Trait Data from Around the Web

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

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.

Interface to 'DigitalOcean'

Provides a set of functions for interacting with the 'DigitalOcean' API < https://www.digitalocean.com/>, including creating images, destroying them, rebooting, getting details on regions, and available images.

An R Interface to 'figshare'

An R interface to 'figshare'.

Get Silhouettes of Organisms from PhyloPic

Work with the PhyloPic Web Service (< http://api-docs.phylopic.org/v2/>) to fetch silhouette images of organisms. Includes functions for adding silhouettes to both base R plots and ggplot2 plots.

'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.

'IUCN' Red List Client

'IUCN' Red List (< https://api.iucnredlist.org/>) client. The 'IUCN' Red List is a global list of threatened and endangered species. Functions cover all of the Red List 'API' routes. An 'API' key is required.

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/>.

Downloading Supplementary Data from Published Manuscripts

Downloads data supplementary materials from manuscripts, using papers' DOIs as references. Facilitates open, reproducible research workflows: scientists re-analyzing published datasets can work with them as easily as if they were stored on their own computer, and others can track their analysis workflow painlessly. The main function suppdata() returns a (temporary) location on the user's computer where the file is stored, making it simple to use suppdata() with standard functions like read.csv().
