In bvhest/KNMIr: functions for retrieving historic climate data and the six-day forecast from the Dutch meteorological institute KNMI

Work-in-progress

ToDo

• 2021-02-26: package is broken. The current script-based UI seems no longer supported. The following url fails: http://projects.knmi.nl/klimatologie/daggegevens/getdata_dag.cgi?start=20200101&end=20210325&stns=350&ALL

modify package to deal with new API. See https://developer.dataplatform.knmi.nl/get-started * realtime data: https://api.dataplatform.knmi.nl/open-data/datasets/weer_en_luchtdruk/versions/1.0/files

• 2023-12-12: check requested data; when more then allowed by API, issue a warning.
• 2023-12-15: fix downloading data from sea-base stations
• 2023-12-16: fix error when too much data is downloaded using the flexible API (get daily data).
• check if station code is valid, else issue error message.
• change station-parameter to stations-parameter (so that a list of stations can be downloaded in one call)
• provide English names for the variable-codes, next to the Dutch translations.
• change source of KNMI stations to http://projects.knmi.nl/datacentrum/catalogus/catalogus/catalogus-gegevens-overzicht.html zie http://projects.knmi.nl/datacentrum/catalogus/catalogus/content/nl-obs-surf-stationslijst.htm
• test-scripts: tidyverse library toegevoegd (kan mogelijk compacter obv alleen dplyr).
• replace data.table function by tijdyverse equivalent
• add the station name to all daily/hourly data.
• make function subset_KNMI_data suitable for subsetting df's with renamed columns
• add support for KMI (BE) and DWD (DE)
• (re)enable automatic use of tinytest test-framework for build tests

Done

• 2018-xx-xx: add the data from the sea-based stations
• 2018-xx-xx: retrieve the six day forecast from the KNMI-website.
• 2018-xx-xx: retrieve the 14 day forecast from the Weerplaza-website.
• 2020-06-18: corrigeer get_xxday_weather_forecast: maak weerstation configurabel
• 2020-06-18: remove as many package dependencies as possible, change to the tidyverse-packages. Note: there is advice not to do this in packages (or at least not to use the pipe operator. This may need some changes to be reverted).
• DONE: fixed Error when calling the zip-api. climateData.r <- KNMIr::get_climate_data_zip(stationID = "260", # De Bilt from = "19000101") Error in KNMIr::get_climate_data_zip(stationID = "260", from = "19000101") : object 'station' not found
• 2022-11-21: fixed error with download data for all stations in one call. a. fails for current year, download using prepared KNMI zip-file. Cause is change in KNMI file format. fixed b. fails for specific year < current year because KNMI API restricts the download size. Cause is a download size restriction. Not fixed, but 'ALL' is no longer permitted when startdate < now - 5 years.
