About

Maintained by Renzo Caceres RossiFirst published 2025-07-083 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Provides functions to access data from public RESTful APIs including the 'ArgentinaDatos API', 'REST Countries API', and 'World Bank API' related to Argentina's exchange rates, inflation, political figures, holidays, economic indicators, and general country-level statistics. Additionally, the package includes curated datasets related to Argentina, covering topics such as economic indicators, biodiversity, agriculture, human rights, genetic data, and consumer prices. The package supports research and analysis focused on Argentina by integrating open APIs with high-quality datasets from various domains. For more details on the APIs, see: 'ArgentinaDatos API' https://argentinadatos.com/, 'REST Countries API' https://restcountries.com/, and 'World Bank API' https://datahelpdesk.worldbank.org/knowledgebase/articles/889392.
