Any data available through the CLiC web interface is also available by directly calling the CLiC API. The CLiC API returns a JSON representation of the CLiC data, which means that the data can be retrieved directly using any programming language. This package offers a set of convenience functions for calling the CLiC API directly from R.

The package is the result of work by the Centre for Corpus Research at the University of Birmingham. We would be interested to hear about how you use the CLiC API and are always happy to consider CLiC related guest posts for the CLiC blog. To let us know how you are using the CLiC API, to give us feedback, or if you need any help that you cannot find here or through the CLiC homepage you can contact us at [email protected].
