Overview

About

Maintained by Renato Prado SiqueiraCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗

Provides a flexible interface to discover, inspect, plan, and retrieve aggregate data from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) through its SIDRA application programming interfaces. SIDRA is IBGE's system for retrieving aggregate statistical data.

Changes in 0.6.0

Split relative or complete SIDRA values URLs with sidra_split(), preserving parameter order. Period selections all, first, last, and ranges can be frozen to the official period inventory before downloading values.
Added opt-in period batching with sidra_collect(batch_size = ...) and resumable local checkpoints with checkpoint = .... Completed batches have checksums and original access times; mismatched settings, schema drift, corrupted files, and concurrent writers fail explicitly. No implicit disk cache or change to get_sidra() is introduced.
info_sidra() can use official aggregate metadata and periods when the original descriptor returns a browser challenge. Its five legacy components are preserved; fields unavailable from the alternative source are disclosed instead of fabricated. Both-source failures retain the original error.

Show all changes in 0.6.0Hide the rest of the changes in 0.6.0

Expanded offline compatibility tests across monthly, quarterly, annual, and multiple-classification synthetic fixtures, including special symbols, UTF-8, leading-zero identifiers, and comparison by keys rather than row order.
Validate the complete alternative-response schema on every fallback path, including canonical queries at default precision. Reject out-of-selection codes and duplicate observation keys without altering identifiers or values. Missing explicitly requested members emit sidrar_incomplete_warning; sparse tables are not forced into a complete Cartesian product.
Honor Retry-After on HTTP 429 and 503 independently of quiet logging, including HTTP dates, while preserving the configured total attempt budget. The maximum accepted server-requested delay is configurable through options(sidrar.retry_after_max = 120), with a default of 60 seconds. Longer delays return an informative error with retry_after_max instead of retrying prematurely or waiting indefinitely.
Broadened the official aggregate API fallback to multiple territorial levels, complete and first-period selections, period ranges, and SIDRA URLs with dimensions in different orders. Dimension columns follow the original URL; observation order remains that returned by the alternative service.
Explicit decimal precision, including a single variable-specific /d/vID N selection, is accepted when numeric values already have the requested number of decimal places. Incompatible precision raises sidrar_fallback_precision_error rather than silently rounding values or inventing unavailable digits. Maximum precision remains unsupported by the alternative route.
Automatic classification discovery can use official aggregate metadata when SIDRA's table descriptor returns a Cloudflare challenge.
Recognized additional Cloudflare challenge pages containing a challenge title and the official challenge host, without requiring legacy HTML markers.

From NEWS.md in the release

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("sidrar", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("rpradosiqueira/sidrar")

Development version from rpradosiqueira/sidrar. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-sidrar

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-sidrar

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-sidrar

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
