Description: The pvsR package facilitates data retrieval from Project
Vote Smart's rich online data base on US politics via the
Project Vote Smart application programming interface (PVS API).
The functions in this package cover most PVS API classes and
methods and return the requested data in a data frame.
License: GPL-2
Note: In order to use this package you need your personal Project Vote
Smart API key. To get an API-key you need to sign up for access
to PVS' API (see http://votesmart.org/share/api for details).
Whenever you are using pvsR make sure that your personal PVS
API key is saved as a character string in the variable pvs.key
(pvs.key <- "yourkey"). If there is no valid PVS API key saved
in the variable pvs.key the functions in this package won't
work. This program is free software; you can redistribute it
