A package to make EPA pollutant data collection easier - epair

R users trying to get pollutant data from the EPA website can get easily discouraged. Needing to have a strong understanding of API’s, navigating json files, and a hefty load of parameter codes contribute to this sense of unease.

Our package, epair, waves these difficulties away.

Built with R researchers in mind, epair makes data querying from the EPA intuitive. From options helping the user figure out what data they want, to actually placing the query in the EPA API, epair can do it.

Users new to how API’s work may want to start with the Anatomy of an API request. Otherwise, installing the package and following the setup instructions will get you started.
