I have actually just figured it out with some help from a JS website . Was

Have you considered contacting them and asking at
"https://spotcrime.com/contact.php";?
The web site does not contain copyright information that I can
find. Their "Terms of Use" (https://spotcrime.com/tos) says, "You will
not ... distribute any files ... where it is possible that ... any of
the Website may be used to distribute copyrighted materials to or from
persons who are not authorized to receive, copy, distribute or use
them." I suggest you contact them. Explain this could make it easier
for people to use their data and promote their web site.
The "Ecfun" package contains various "read*" functions that
scrape data from different web sites. If spotcrime.com says it's OK to
access their web site as you have AND you'd like to add a function to do
this to the "Ecfun" package, please go to R-Forge, find the "Ecdat"
project, and "request to join" I will approve.

Erin,
I do not think there is an R package that will enable you to get the data you
would like from spotcrime.com.
You could write code, in R, or some other language, to extract the data you
want but that is going to be a changeling task and if
the website changes its format then your code may suddenly stop working. Also,
the people who run spotcrime.com may not be happy if you do so.

It's spotcrime.com, and I would like to use it via R for crimes.

Can you please be just a little less vague? What API are you talking
about, and how is this related to R?
