Description Details Author(s) References
The package provides an interface to the Open Platform's Content API of the Guardian Media Group. It retrieves content from news outlets The Observer, The Guardian, and guardian.co.uk from 1999 to current day. As of version 0.5, GuardianR connects to the Guardian Content API v2, which is much faster, but requires an API key and implements the limit of 12 Calls per second or 5,000 calls per day.

At the time of this writing, Microsoft Windows does not have integration between the OS default CA certificates and OpenSS. Because of that, the function get_guardian will verify the operation system and when necessary download the SLL certificate "cacert.perm" to access https links.
