In microdemic: 'Microsoft Academic' API Client

microdemic 0.6.0

NEW FEATURES

• The E attribute we used heavily for data for various functions here has been dropped and its sub fields brought to the top level. Just internal changes - except for that the default fields in ma_calchist, ma_evaluate, and ma_search now do not include E. See the github issue for link for details (#17)

DEFUNCT

• ma_similarity() is now defunct as the service at least appears to be gone or down often enough its not worth supporting (#16)
• ma_graph_search() is now defunct as the service at least appears to be gone or down often enough its not worth supporting (#18)

microdemic 0.5.0

NEW FEATURES

• new author Christopher Baker (#13)
• docs website added

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

• all functions now pass along detailed error messages; before we were erroring but just giving the http status code and generic message; as part of this fix now importing httpcode pkg (#7) (#12) (#14)
• use fake API key on travis to avoid test suite error (#11)
• internals of ma_search() have changed a bit; get in touch if you have any questions about this function

BUG FIXES

• fix to internal function invabs2abs() within ma_abstract(): the inverted index returned from Microsoft can have missing values and we were incorrectly inserting NA's into those spots resulting in NA's in abstracts (#8) (#9)

microdemic 0.4.0

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

• do testing with vcr (#5) (#6)
• make the output of ma_abstract() a data.frame and add Id column to facilitate matching to other data (#4)

microdemic 0.3.0

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

• Improve docs on how to use and get API keys (#3)
• Change base URL from westus.api.cognitive.microsoft.com to api.labs.cognitive.microsoft.com. Because of this change, you need to get use an API key from a the microsoft labs website. Get a key at some url and see ?microdemic-package for details on how to use it (#2)

microdemic 0.2.0

NEW FEATURES

• Many of the functions gain a new parameter model with value of 'latest' or 'beta-2015'.
