ONETr is a package for R that facilitates interaction with the O*NET™ API. The functions can perform searches of the occupational data based on keywords or O*NET™-SOC codes, and parse the XML output into a list object. Then, individual functions can extract specific data as desired (see ONETr manual for more information).

This software is released under the GPL-3 license.

Note: User must be registered for an account with O*NET™ Web Services and have login credentials (specifically, a username and password) for the API.
