ArgentinAPI

It allows users to easily retrieve up-to-date information on exchange rates, inflation, political figures, national holidays, and country-level indicators relevant to Argentina.

In addition to API-access functions, the package includes a collection of curated datasets related to Argentina, covering diverse domains such as economic indicators, biodiversity, agriculture, human rights, genetics, and consumer prices.

ArgentinAPI is designed to support research, teaching, and data analysis focused on Argentina by integrating publicly available APIs and high-quality datasets into a single, easy-to-use R package.
