In next-game-solutions/geckor: R Client for the 'CoinGecko' API

geckor 0.3.0

As v0.3.0, geckor is no longer published on CRAN.

Major changes

CoinGecko significantly reduced the rate limit of the free version of its API - from 50 to ca. 10-30 calls/minute. This had a dramatic effect on how geckor functions and how much data can be retrieved using its functions. In particular, the following changes had to be introduced in v0.3.0:

• All of the coin_history_* functions now accept a much smaller number of coin IDs to process simultaneously (5 vs 30 in v0.2.0).
• The coin_tickers() function retrieves up to 5 pages of data.
• Examples in the package documentation now won't execute when running R CMD check.
• Examples in vignettes are not evaluated any more.

Minor changes

• Package documentation modified according to the introduced changes.

geckor 0.2.0

Major changes

• Significant speed-up (at least 3x) of the coin_history() and coin_history_range() functions.
• All of the coin_history_* functions have been re-written so that they can retrieve data for multiple coins (up to 30) in one call.
• The internal api_request() function has been modified to fail more gracefully when the API calls time out or errors occur.

Minor changes

• Modified vignettes to reflect major changes in the package.
• Modified vignettes to avoid hard failures during their build (caused by going over the API rate limit).
• Minor improvements and edits in the package documentation.

geckor 0.1.1

Minor changes

• Minor improvements and edits in the package documentation.
• Added cran-comments.md and made other preparations for CRAN release.
