Overview

About

Maintained by Renzo Caceres RossiFirst published 2025-09-151 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Provides functions to access data from public RESTful APIs including 'Nager.Date', 'World Bank API', and 'REST Countries API', retrieving real-time or historical data related to Peru, such as holidays, economic indicators, and international demographic and geopolitical indicators. Additionally, the package includes curated datasets focused on Peru, covering topics such as administrative divisions, electoral data, demographics, biodiversity and educational classifications. The package supports reproducible research and teaching by integrating reliable international APIs and structured datasets from public, academic, and government sources. For more information on the APIs, see: 'Nager.Date' https://date.nager.at/Api, 'World Bank API' https://datahelpdesk.worldbank.org/knowledgebase/articles/889392, and 'REST Countries API' https://restcountries.com/.
