bbk is minimal R client for the Deutsche Bundesbank and the European Central Bank (ECB) APIs.
In the future, it may be extended to other central banks and financial institutions. Feel free to open an issue if you have a specific request.
You can install the released version of bbk from CRAN with:
install.packages("bbk")
And the development version from GitHub with:
# install.packages("pak")
pak::pak("m-muecke/bbk")
bbk functions are prefixed with either bbk_
or ecb_
depending on the
origin of the data and follow the naming convention of the APIs. The
usual workflow would be to search for the time series key on the ECB
Portal or Bundesbank
website
and then use it to retrieve the data.
