This package allows programmatic access to the Digital Archaeological Record (tDAR), a service of Digital Antiquity.

You can install tdar from github with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("bocinsky/tdar")

Please note that this project is released with a Contributor Code of Conduct. By participating in this project you agree to abide by its terms.

tDAR authentication is handled through a username and password. Log in using the tdar::tdar_login function

tdar::tdar_login(tdar_user = '<your username>', 
                 tdar_password = '<your password>')

The tdar::tdar_login function automatically searches for a stored tDAR user name and password in your environment. If you have a username and password, pass them in as environment vars using:

Sys.setenv(tdar_un = '<your username>',
           tdar_pw = '<your password>')

If you do not yet have a username and password, register for one here at [https://core.tdar.org/account/new/]. To become part of the tDAR API Group, please contact the Digital Antiquity staff at [[email protected]].
