Latamverse: Latin American Data via 'RESTful' APIs and Curated Datasets

Brings together a comprehensive collection of R packages providing access to API functions and curated datasets from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Peru. Includes real-time and historical data through public 'RESTful' APIs ('Nager.Date', World Bank API, REST Countries API, and country-specific APIs) and extensive curated collections of open datasets covering economics, demographics, public health, environmental data, political indicators, social metrics, and cultural information. Designed to provide researchers, analysts, educators, and data scientists with centralized access to Latin American data sources, facilitating reproducible research, comparative analysis, and teaching applications focused on these five major Latin American countries. Included packages: - 'ArgentinAPI': API functions and curated datasets for Argentina covering exchange rates, inflation, political figures, national holidays and more. - 'BrazilDataAPI': API functions and curated datasets for Brazil covering postal codes, banks, economic indicators, holidays, company registrations and more. - 'ChileDataAPI': API functions and curated datasets for Chile covering financial indicators ('UF', UTM, Dollar, Euro, Yen, Copper, Bitcoin, 'IPSA' index), holidays and more. - 'ColombiAPI': API functions and curated datasets for Colombia covering geographic locations, cultural attractions, economic indicators, demographic data, national holidays and more. - 'PeruAPIs': API functions and curated datasets for Peru covering economic indicators, demographics, national holidays, administrative divisions, electoral data, biodiversity and more.
