Changelog • ChileDataAPI

ChileDataAPI 0.3.0

Removed get_country_info_cl() from the package. This function depended on the ‘REST Countries’ API v3.1 endpoint, which was deprecated by its provider. The replacement v5 endpoint now requires an API key, which is incompatible with CRAN’s policy that packages using Internet resources must work without user-supplied credentials. As a consequence, all associated tests, documentation, and examples have been removed, and references to the ‘REST Countries API’ have been removed from the package (DESCRIPTION, README.md, vignette, LICENSE.md).
The package now integrates three APIs instead of four: FINDIC API, World Bank API, and Nager.Date.

CRAN release: 2025-09-11
