I search through the Web and did not find out a package connecting to Thomson Reuters Eikon.
It's a financial datasource, more or less similar to Bloomberg. Bloomberg is supported through R with this package:

Seems there is nothing for Reuters, but maybe I am completely wrong? Ideally I would like to connect to a Reuters terminal and scrap some information automatically from R.

UPDATE in 2017:
Thomson Reuters released the Eikon API (now in Beta) with a Python package. Please note that you do need a desktop-license to access the API. The information/documentation can be found on the Developer Portal.
You can find an unofficial R-package on Github: https://github.com/ahmedmohamedali/eikonapir
**Disclaimer: I am currently employed by Thomson Reuters
I have created a package that connects Eikon to R. It still in alpha stage, with only basic functionality, but I use it daily with no issues. You can find it here. Please leave any feedback or issues directly on Bitbucket's issue tracker
