Short summary
This paper describes an R package as the machine interface to the open data of Mindat.org, one of the world's most widely used databases of mineral species and their distribution. In the past decades, many geoscientists have been using Mindat data, but an open data service has never been fully established. The machine interface described in this paper will be an efficient way to meet the overwhelming data needs.
