R interface for the New York Times API

The goal of rnytapi is to provide easy and fast tools to access and collect data using the New York Times API.

Installation


## Install the current development version from GitHub

if(!require(devtools)) install.packages("devtools")

devtools::install_github("jaeyk/rnytapi", dependencies = TRUE)

Example

The package’s current main use case is to collect the NYT articles on a particular subject published during a specific period.

A single page output from the search. The default page is the first page. You can overwrite it by passing a new value for the page argument.

library(rnytapi)

df <- get_content(term = "muslim+muslims",
            begin_date = "19960911",
            end_date = "20060911",
            key = "<insert your key>")

All results from the search. The function sleeps 6 seconds between calls to respect the NYT API call limit. Depending on the scope of the search, getting the results will take a substantial amount of time.

df <- extract_all(term = "muslim+muslims",
            begin_date = "19960911",
            end_date = "20060911",
            key = "<insert your key>")
