Hello HelpeRs,

Attached is code to implement New York Times' data API.

How do I adjust the x-axis to something more meaningful? The layout provided is pretty difficult to read.

The code requires the rjson package. I tried installing the omegahat RJSONIO, but did not get it to work.

Request a New York Times Article API key. (See the attached code - comments at top.) It's FREE!!!

I tried converting the dat.all variable to as.Date format, but still didn't have luck changing the axis. Ideally, I'd like small tick marks on a daily scale ("-0.2"...) and the regular-sized ticks for all the dates that are illustrated, ideally with the first and last dates in the series being illustrated.

Your help is appreciated!!

Thank you, all.

Matt

Can you say a bit about who wrote this code and where you got it?
