For an introduction to mnis
, the vignette vignette("introduction", package = "mnis")
is the best place to start. If you are unfamiliar with APIs https://zapier.com/learn/apis/ is a helpful introduction.
As the Members' Names Information Service has dozens of different search parameters and hundreds of possible combinations of searches, it is not reasonable to build functions for every possible query to the API. However, I will be rolling out functions for potentially common queries as and when I can. If you have any particular queries you would like functions for please let me know and I'll create it.
