In nycOpenData: Convenient Access to NYC Open Data API Endpoints

nycOpenData 0.1.5

New features and documentation

• Added a new vignette, “Working with NYC 311 Data”, demonstrating an end-to-end, reproducible workflow for accessing, filtering, and visualizing NYC 311 service requests using nyc_311(). The vignette is available on the package website and via vignette("nyc-311", package = "nycOpenData").

• Updated nyc_311() to explicitly target the NYC 311 Service Requests dataset covering 2020–present, aligning the function with the current primary NYC Open Data endpoint.

• Added a new function, nyc_311_2010_2019(), providing access to historical NYC 311 service request data from 2010–2019, which is maintained as a separate dataset on the NYC Open Data platform.

Bug fixes and maintenance

• Continued improvements to internal request handling for reliability and consistency when interacting with live NYC Open Data APIs.

• Updated documentation and examples to ensure robust behavior during CRAN checks while preserving reproducible workflows for interactive use.

• No breaking changes to existing function interfaces.
