This isn't fully written yet. Some useful data can be found on the readme, particularly about package requirements.
The sidebar contains a rundown of the functions in the package, as well as notes on how to save data to file (rather than redownloading it) and the naming conventions used throughout.
More to come! Let me know if you hit bugs/ features you want to see.
