In wbids: Seamless Access to World Bank International Debt Statistics (IDS)

wbids 1.0.0

• ids_get() Roxygen2 documentation enhancements.
• ids_get() now makes a single consolidated API call for all series and countries rather than one call per series-country combination, greatly improving performance.
• ids_get() now fails with an informative error message if the user requests too much data.
• ids_get() now takes start_year and end_year rather than start_date and end_date arguments (breaking change).

Bug fixes

• ids_list_counterparts() now contains counterpart_iso2code for all countries and regions.
• read_bulk_file() now returns the correct column for counterpart_id.
• ids_get() no longer returns NAs for some geographies.
• ids_get() no longer returns the wrong counterpart_type for some rows.
• ids_get() now removes trailing whitespace and correctly encodes special characters.
• Removed a third-party dependency that was causing tests to fail on CRAN.

wbids 0.1.0

• Initial CRAN submission.
• Includes download of individual series via ids_get(). Use ids_list_*() functions to list supported geographies, series, and counterparts, respectively.
• Includes bulk download of multiple series via ids_bulk(). Use ids_bulk_files() and ids_bulk_series() to get information for supported files and series, respectively.
