title: Use Mashape with R
body: <p>I'm trying to use the Mashape platform to access to different APIs with R (e.g. epguides or pipl). I could use directly the original APIs, but getting used to Mashape seems to be a good investment since it provides a unified access to a whole lot of other APIs.</p>
  
  <p>Two concerns however:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Mashape doesn't provide any R tutorial. I tried the <code>httr</code> package to query Mashape but no success until there. <strong>How to query Mashape with R ?</strong> ;</li>
  <li>As far as I tested, most APIs endpoint on Mashape <em>seem</em> not to respond (even on the testing page provided by the platform). <strong>Is Mashape really reliable for every hosted API ?</strong></li>
  </ol>
