The goal of exoplanets is to provide access to NASA’s Exoplanet Archive TAP Service. The functionality of this package is minimal and is simply an R interface to access exoplanet data.
Installation
Install the released version of exoplanets from CRAN:
install.packages("exoplanets")Or you can install from GitHub with:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("ropensci/exoplanets")Example
This is a basic example which shows you how to access data from the k2names table:
library(exoplanets)
options(
exoplanets.progress = FALSE, # hide progress
readr.show_types = FALSE # hide col spec, requires readr 2.0.0 >=
)
exoplanets("k2names")

At one time, this package used the Exoplanet Archive Application Programming Interface (API). Since then, a handful of tables have been transitioned to the Table Access Protocol (TAP) service. More tables will be transitioned to TAP and as such, this package only supports queries from TAP.
