epidatr

The goal of epidatr is to provide a convenient way for R users to access data released by the Delphi group's Epidata API. Currently, it provides accesss only to the FluView and COVID-19 API endpoints. This is not an official R client for the API in any sense. Rather it is simply one contributed option.
