In alm: R Client for the Lagotto Altmetrics Platform

#' R client for the open source article level metrics Lagotto application.
#'
#' An R interface to the RESTful API from the open source article level metrics
#' software Lagotto, created by the Public Library of Science (PLOS). A number of 
#' publishers are using Lagotto, so you can drop in a different base URL to the 
#' functions in this package to get to not only PLOS data, but
#' data for Crossref, and more.
#'
#' Authenication was required, but has now been removed going foward in Lagotto. 
#' You only need API keys for a few of the data providers that are running old 
#' versions of Lagotto, and that will change as they upgrade their Lagotto sofware.
