It would be nice if this package provided access to ProPublica's Nonprofit Explorer API, in addition to the Congress and Campaign Finance APIs.
The RPublica package was created to work with the (now deprecated) Nonprofit Explorer API v1, but it hasn't been updated to the most recent version (v2).
To your question about functionality, I think that replicating RPublica's two functions would be a good place to start:
npsearch(): retrieves subsets of available organizations
np_org(): retrieves detailed information about a given organization, including a direct link to the complete Form 990 for that organization (as a PDF)
See the RPublica readme for a bit more detail on each of those functions.
