ColombiAPI

The ColombiAPI package provides a seamless interface to access diverse public data about Colombia through the API-Colombia, a RESTful API. The package enables users to explore various aspects of Colombia, including general information, geography, and cultural insights. It includes five API-related functions to retrieve data on topics such as Colombia’s general information, airports, departments, regions, and presidents.

Additionally, ColombiAPI offers a built-in function to view the datasets available within the package. The package also includes curated datasets covering Bogota air stations, business and holiday dates, public schools, Colombian coffee exports, cannabis licenses, Medellin rainfall, and malls in Bogota, making it a comprehensive tool for exploring Colombia’s data.
