For usage, check the tutorial page. Also check these examples of getting FMI lightning data and gridded observation (raster) data.

fmi relies on rwfs package for interfacing with the FMI WFS (Web Feature Service) API. rwfs in turn relies on sf package for the actual geospatial operations. Neither fmi nor rwfs are yet on CRAN, but you can install them directly from GitHub using devtools:

install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("rOpenGov/rwfs")
devtools::install_github("rOpenGov/fmi")
