The Data Layers data can be accessed via an API. Below you see minimal code snippets to query the data. For more information regarding the API please look at the documentation.

import requests
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth
from urllib.parse import urlencode

import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# set host, like http://localhost:8000, to where your Data Hub is running
HOST = ''
# in case of basic auth set to HTTPBasicAuth('user', 'password')
AUTH = None

q = {
    'datalayer_key': 'meteo_prcp',

    # Optional filters to narrow down the returned data:
    #'shape_id': '',
    #'shape_type': '',
    #'start_date': '',
    #'end_date': '',
}
d = requests.get(f"{HOST}/api/datalayers/data/?{urlencode(q)}", auth=AUTH).json()
meteo_prcp_df = pd.DataFrame(d['data'])
meteo_prcp_df['date'] = pd.to_datetime(meteo_prcp_df['date'], format="%Y-%m-%d")

There is no ready use snippet for API usage in R yet, though you can adapt the Python example to your R needs.
