You should install "httr" and "jsonlite" modules and then it will be easy to manipulate with API data. Use install.packages() and library(). And then something like:
request = GET("https://api.chess.com/pub/player/davidjayjackson")
data = fromJSON(rawToChar(request$content))
@davidjayjackson, R uses Python, so if you find any Python code/library interfacing with the API, you'll be set. Check Github here are some quick hits:

Happy programming.
Howdy,
Does anyone have a example of using R language with the API?
TIA,
David
