I agree, this could use some work. Any devs on the project have relevant info to share?
Also agree, looking for the same via api
Would also love to see this happen. Market Analysis & Reporting Services (MARS) API's FAQs says that
All USDA Market News data will be available on the API in Spring 2019.
Spoke with AMS today and they confirmed a proposed March 2019 release date, but advised against holding one's breath.
Would be interested to help make an R package for MARS API access. Anybody else?

I would be interested. This package is long overdue.
Is there any update on a MARS API for R?
I haven't made any progress towards an API build.
First step would be to see what, if anything, has been added to MARS.

Could we get started?
is the api for the speciality crops still being built or completed?
Currently, a user can run custom reports for various specialty crops as part of the AMS (https://www.marketnews.usda.gov/mnp/fv-home).
At the moment, we're exporting XML by swapping the
commAbr
with a given commodity within the Agricultural Marketing Service reporting tool (an example being something likehttps://www.marketnews.usda.gov/mnp/fv-report-top-filters?&commAbr=SWPOT&portal=fv&repType=shipPriceDaily&Go=Go&locName=All&type=shipPrice&navType=byComm&repDate=10%2F16%2F2017&endDate=10%2F16%2F2017&format=xml&rebuild=false
).This allows us to grab said XML by various means (curl, wget, internal software), but this feels fragile to us. If there any chance this system has an API endpoint that could be used instead?
