The idea of tidygeoRSS is to parse ‘geo’ feeds – RSS, Atom and JSON – and return them as tibbles complete with the geographical information in a way that is compatible with the sf library.
For more information on these formats, see:
You can install the released version of tidygeoRSS from CRAN with:
install.packages("tidygeoRSS")And the development version from GitHub with:
# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("RobertMyles/tidygeoRSS")tidygeoRSS relies on sf, which also relies on some system dependencies, so you will most likely have to install certain things before using tidygeoRSS. More information is available here.
