sotkanet 0.9.79 (2022-02-01)
CRAN release: 2022-02-01
NEW FEATURES
- Functions pointing to external resources (
sotkanet.json_query()andsotkanet.csv_query()) should now fail gracefully. New internal functions are in R/http_funs.R - New dependencies / imports: httr package for handling URLs and error messages and curl package for internet connection testing. jsonlite for handling data from json files
- Http functions now include information on user agent. The default is “rOpenGov/sotkanet” to help API providers track package usage but it can be changed in relevant functions:
GetDataSotkanet(),SotkanetIndicators()andSotkanetRegions().
DEPRECATED AND DEFUNCT
- Removed internal functions:
GetDataSotkanetSingleIndicatorandSotkanetData. - Removed dependency / import: rjson
- Deleted unused function:
base_url
MINOR IMPROVEMENTS
- Functionalities from GetDataSotkanetSingleIndicator and SotkanetData are now embedded in one function,
GetDataSotkanet(). - Some files in ./R/ folder have been renamed for better legibility: internal.R to SotkanetCollect.R and sotkanet.R to SotkanetRegions.R
- New alias for downloading indicator metadata:
SotkanetIndicatorMetadata()(usesSotkanetIndicator(id)) - To help save bandwidth, when provided with a predefined list of indicators,
SotkanetIndicators()now downloads metadata individually instead of fetching and subsetting the whole indicator dataset. - Vignette will no longer fetch external resources on CRAN.
- Package license clarified: BSD 2-clause instead of FreeBSD
