In chirps: API Client for CHIRPS and CHIRTS

chirps 0.1.4 (2022-01-13)

ENHANCEMENTS

• Add new function get_chirts() to fetch temperature data from CHC server (https://data.chc.ucsb.edu/products/CHIRTSdaily/v1.0/global_cogs_p05/)
• Implement data fetching from CHC server in get_chirps() which offers a better alternative for requests with multiple data points using GoC files from CHC server (https://data.chc.ucsb.edu/products/CHIRPS-2.0/global_daily/cogs/) and the terra package
• New S3 methods in get_chirps() for objects of class 'SpatVector' and 'SpatRaster' from the terra package
• Data can be returned as an object of class 'matrix' when using the argument as.matrix = TRUE in the S3 methods for objects of class 'default', 'SpatVector' and 'SpatRaster'
• Updates the URL to request data from ClimateSERV

CHANGES IN BEHAVIOUR

• New argument server = is added to indicate from which server the function should send the request, either 'CHC' or 'ClimateSERV'. Please use the argument server = "ClimateSERV" for backward compatibility with previous versions of the package.
• API requests to ClimateSERV use package httr instead of curl
• Argument operation = in get_chirps() is only required when server = "ClimateSERV"
• Updates function as.geojson() to matches with the new requirements for ClimateSERV

chirps 0.0.5 (2020-01-09)

ENHANCEMENTS

• Fix comments given by good practice goodpractice::gp(). Avoid long code lines, it is bad for readability. Avoid 1:length(...), 1:nrow(...), 1:ncol(...), 1:NROW(...) and 1:NCOL(...) expressions. Not import packages as a whole, as this can cause name clashes between the imported packages.
