Seeking new maintainer!

This package is not being actively maintained. If you're interested in contributing or taking over, please express your interest here.

Hello @leeper,
I am sorry I didn't see your message before. We created an alternative:
https://github.com/dietrichson/ProPublicaR
This was also published to CRAN. Maybe we should merge the two?

[leeper]

Yours looks very feature complete and up to date - I can just remove this one from CRAN.

[tdschwarz]

@dietrichson i don't see documentation in your version for the nonprofit explorer API, is that functionality included?

@leeper has anyone expressed interest in updating this package?

[tiernanmartin]

I'm seconding @tdschwarz's questions above—I'd love to be able to access the Nonprofit Explorer API through an R package.

[dietrichson]

I'm happy to include the functionality you are looking for. Can you create an issue on my github account?

Working now on basic fixes of this package, see #5

[antagomir]

If this package is orphaned, and there is now an indepedent ProPublicaR package elsewhere, then I think we should archive this repository and stop development unless there are other arguments.

[dieghernan]

@dietrichson could you please confirm the upcoming plans for ProPublicaR? Currently RPublica still is is CRAN with more than 300 downloads per month (https://rdocumentation.org/packages/RPublica/versions/0.1.3).

Otherwise, I would propose to provide minimal maintenance of RPublica (estimated no more than 2 hours) and maybe prepare a last release on CRAN.

Please let me know your thoughs @antagomir @leeper , regards

[antagomir]

I would leave this to @leeper to decide.

[dieghernan]

@antagomir @leeper I updated the package to the latest version of the API, now it is fully working again. Also, I added a test battery, now the coverage is almost 100%

@tdschwarz @tiernanmartin now it should work, the package (dev version) uses API v2

[dietrichson]

@dieghernan sorry, I only saw your comments now. I am currently not using the package for anything, so I am sort of in the same position you are in. Ideally someone who actually needs it should take over development.
