I really like your BLS package for R. I have used it in my internship at an economic development organization and in personal projects to acquire data from the BLS.
Recently, I created a function called laus_get_data (with some other functions that are used within it: laus_get_areacode, laus_get_measure and apiDF) that can obtain labor area unemployment statistics data without knowing the specific Series ID for the specific area and measure someone is looking for. Instead one can type in the area name like "California" and the measure they want like "unemployment rate" into the laus_get_data function to get a data frame of the unemployment rate for California.
I created this function so I would not have to figure out what the Series ID is for different areas I wanted to get the unemployment rate for.
I know that the apiDF function was specified in example 2 for your blsAPI but I created its own R file because I used it to process the results in a portion of the laus_get_data code.
