tampaBayOpenData: An R Interface to Tampa Bay Public Open Data

Provides a lightweight R interface for discovering and retrieving public 'ArcGIS' datasets across the Tampa Bay region. Search civic datasets and load records directly into R without manually navigating separate portals, constructing REST API requests, or handling pagination. Supports public data published by the City of Tampa, City of St. Petersburg, City of Clearwater, Hillsborough County, Pinellas County, and Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council. Discover layers in these and other public 'ArcGIS' portals and retrieve them by their REST URLs. A publisher registry configures discovery, while a separate dataset registry identifies layers checked by package maintainers. Filter catalogs by source, geometry, topic, category, and modification date. Retrieve queryable layers with validated pagination, bounded previews, server-side filtering, typed tabular results, optional spatial objects, and source provenance. Save large downloads as local chunks that can be validated and resumed. Designed for analysts, researchers, students, journalists, and civic technologists who work across separate public data portals. Public source pages are the City of Tampa GeoHub <https://city-tampa.opendata.arcgis.com/>, St. Petersburg ArcGIS portal <https://csp.maps.arcgis.com/home/index.html>, Clearwater ArcGIS portal <https://cityofclearwater.maps.arcgis.com/home/index.html>, Hillsborough County GeoHub <https://hcfl.gov/about-hillsborough/open-data-and-gis/geohub>, Pinellas County Enterprise GIS <https://new-pinellas-egis.opendata.arcgis.com/>, and Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council GeoHub <https://opendata-tbrpc.hub.arcgis.com/>.
