this is a patch to fix a CRAN policy violation, namely that the cache was written in the wrong directory due to using rappdirs.
If you have used comtradr prior to version 1.0.1 I recommend running ct_migrate_cache() to copy files to the new cache and remove the old cache
BULK DOWNLOAD ADDED: the function ct_get_bulk has been added.
It enables the use of the bulk download facility from Comtrade.
Please see the vignette https://docs.ropensci.org/comtradr/articles/bulk_files.html for details
Caching Functionality: Implemented enhanced caching features, and added a dedicated vignette explaining caching concepts. Environment variables allow for configuration of some caching features.
Functionality Updates: Major updates to key functions such as ct_get_data and ct_get_ref_table, including parameter adjustments and usability improvements, mostly checks for all important parameters before the request is send out.
ct_commodity_db_type
ct_country_lookup
country_codes dataset for country codes.ct_search
ct_get_data() as an alternative.ct_update_databases
update parameter in ct_get_data.ct_use_pretty_cols
process argument in main functions.ct_get_reset_time
ct_get_remaining_hourly_queries
ct_register_token
set_primary_comtrade_key() instead.ct_search() to add support for commodity code ag6 (#30)Function ct_register_token() now checks if the provided token is recognized by the official API and only grants "premium" credentials if it is (#34).
Passing an API token string to ct_register_token() now properly bumps the hourly rate limit up to 10,000
(#21).
In func ct_search(), passing a character vector of long-form commodity descriptions to arg commod_codes will now
throw an error prior to making an API call, which would fail (#24).
Update the country package data, to stay up to date with the reporter/partner country table that Comtrade is using. This is an update to
the file inst/extdata/country_table.rda. (#29).
In func ct_search(), improve error messaging when an input country is invalid. (#31).
In func ct_search(), fix bug in which running queries using the SITCrev2 commodity type was returning raw HTML (as opposed to json data). (#27).
In func ct_country_lookup(), remove NA inputs from multi-country lookups (previously NA was being stringified and included in the pipe-separated regex lookup).
methods from Imports.ct_search() to allow for pulling all monthly data for an entire year in a single query (#14)ct_search(), expanded the valid input types for args start_date and end_date (#10).ct_search() now supports all commodity classifications offered by UN Comtrade (#16).ct_update_databases() are now properly preserved between R sessions (#11)."services" to arg type within function ct_search() now uses commodity classification EB02 by default (previously this would throw an error, fixes #6).EB02 within function ct_search(), passing "TOTAL" to arg commod_codes no longer returns zero results (#7).ct_commodity_lookup() no longer returns zero results when passing all caps input to arg search_terms (#9).ct_commodities_table and ct_countries_table.ct_update_databases, ct_use_pretty_cols, ct_commodity_db_type, ct_register_token, ct_get_reset_time, ct_get_remaining_hourly_queries.commodity_lookup is now ct_commodity_lookup, country_lookup is now ct_country_lookup.comtradr functions when necessary. This replaces the need for functions ct_commodities_table and ct_countries_table.ct_search.snake_case is being used throughout the package.ct_search now returns a data frame, as opposed to a list.ct_register_token).Imports changes: remove dplyr, add magrittr and purrr.commodity_lookup have been fixed by importing purrr and using purrr::map in place of sapply. This fixes issue #2 and issue #3.
