00-package: A Package for Scraping a Random Project Gutenberg Book

In wrathematics/rgutenberg: Random Project Gutenberg Text

Description

This R package downloads a random Project Gutenberg book. The purpose of this package is to offer for text, via the rgutenberg() function, somewhat similar functionality to that of rnorm(), runif(), etc. This functionality is really meant for developers who need quick access to random corpora for developing and testing methods that operate on text. It is not meant to be used as an automated way of downloading large portions of the Project Gutenberg corpora; that would be insane. Please also be considerate to their servers and don't abuse this functionality.

Neither the package author, nor the package itself, has any affiliation with Project Gutenberg.

This software is licensed under the permissive 2-clause BSD license. You can find a quick summary of the license here:
