All access to MERMAID data, including in Collect, Explore and R package mermaidr is done via an Application Programming Interface (API). If you need custom access to data, for example because you are creating a map or writing your own tool, you can use API documentation here as a guide. The documentation includes a getting started page on how to use the Insomnia API client file included with the MERMAID API code repository to access all API endpoints.
