The eia package provides API access to data from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA).
Pulling data from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) API requires a registered API key. A key can be obtained at no cost here. A valid email and agreement to the API Terms of Service is required to obtain a key.
eia includes functions for searching the EIA API data directory and importing various datasets. Datasets returned by these functions are provided in a tidy format or alternatively in more raw form. It also offers helper functions for working with EIA API date strings and time formats and for inspecting different summaries of data metadata. The package also provides control over API key storage and caching of API request results.
Install the CRAN release of eia with
or install the development version from GitHub with
After obtaining the API key, store it somewhere such as .Renviron and never have to do anything with the key when using the package. Alternatively, set it manually with eia_set_key() in the current R session. Further, it can always be passed explicitly to the key argument of a given eia function.
