ALA4R
is deprecated and will be removed from CRAN at the end of 2021.
The package to replace ALA4R, galah
, is now available on
CRAN. galah

improved interface to ALA data, while providing the same core
functionality as ALA4R. For an introduction to galah

GitHub page.
The Atlas of Living Australia (ALA) provides tools to enable users of biodiversity information to find, access, combine and visualise data on Australian plants and animals; these have been made available from https://www.ala.org.au/. Here we provide a subset of the tools to be directly used within R.
ALA4R enables the R community to directly access data and resources hosted by the ALA.
The use-examples presented at the 2014 ALA Science
Symposium
are available in the package vignette, via (in R): vignette("ALA4R")
