Providing access to UC Berkeley's Natural History Data
This package provides a R wrapper for the newly available ecoinformatics engine from UC Berkeley. The API is very new and currently provides access to two types of data.
Installation instructions
Stable Version
A stable version can be installed from the central CRAN repository
all.packages("ecoengine", dependencies = TRUE)
Development Version
Install the package with devtools to obtain the latest development version.

Bug reports, feature requests and suggestions (especially as pull requests) are most welcome.
This package is part of a richer suite called SPOCC Species Occurrence Data, along with several other packages, that provide access to occurrence records from multiple databases. We recommend using SPOCC as the primary R interface to ecoengine unless your needs are limited to this single source.
