I just gave a talk on the in development R client for Apache Solr -> http://recology.info/talks/sfbaysolr
Someone asked about a list of public Solr instances, and I did have a start of a list on one slide, so I thought I’d share that list here, and add any others that I could find.
These are R clients that we make that are based entirely on, or partly on, Solr backend:
- rbison - https://github.com/ropensci/rbison: USGS BISON web services - Docs
- rplos - https://github.com/ropensci/rplos: Public Libary of Science search API - Docs
- rdatacite - https://github.com/ropensci/rdatacite: Datacite search API - Docs
- rdryad - https://github.com/ropensci/rdryad: Dryad search API - Docs
- rorcid - https://github.com/ropensci/rorcid: Orcid search API - Docs
- internetarchive - https://github.com/ropensci/internetarchive : InternetArchive - Docs, sort of
- reuropeana - https://github.com/ropensci/reuropeana : Europeana - Docs - This API is Solr-esque, the format returned is not what Solr returns, they must modify it in some way (e.g,. they give
itemsinstead ofdocs) - opencontext - https://github.com/ropensci/opencontext : OpenContext, an archeology datastore/search engine - Docs
If you’re looking for these specific resources, or just a Solr web service to play with, the ones above are nice. The PLOS API is my favorite sorta b/c I know it the best, but all are good.
If you know of others, drop em in.
