title: 'spacescans: Link Time-Referenced Geolocation Data to the Spatial and Contextual
  Exposome'
version: 0.3.4
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.spacescans
abstract: R client for the 'spacescans' 'Python' pipeline, which links time-referenced
  geolocation data (location episodes of study participants) to the spatial and contextual
  exposome and returns one row per participant or per location episode. The pipeline
  runs in a separate 'Python' process that the package talks to through JSON request
  and result files and 'Parquet' tables, so a crash or an interrupt in 'Python' never
  takes the R session down. 'ss_install()' builds the 'Python' environment with 'uv'.
