CRAN_Status_Badge DOI

Overview

Rapi package is an interface to make requests from data providers. Current version is able to connect to APIs of EDDS of CBRT (Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye) and FRED API of FED (Federal Reserve Bank).

Installation

You can install the package from CRAN using:

install.packages("Rapi")

Development version

Or you can install the development version from GitHub:


library(devtools)
install_github("DataRapi/Rapi")

Usage

set_api_key

# Set API keys for EDDS
set_api_key("YOUR_EDDS_API_KEY", "evds", "env")
# Set API keys for FRED
set_api_key("YOUR_FRED_API_KEY", "fred", "env")
# Alternatively, you can use file-based configuration
set_api_key("YOUR_EDDS_API_KEY", "evds", "file")
set_api_key("YOUR_FRED_API_KEY", "fred", "file")

get_series

Example 1: Explicit Sources

# Define a template for series with explicit sources
template <- "
    UNRATE        #fred (series)
    bie_abreserv  #evds (table)
    TP.AB.B1      #evds (series)
"

Example 2: Index-based Definition

# Define a template for series with indexes
template <- "
    UNRATE         
    bie_abreserv  
    TP.AB.B1      
"

In the index-based definition, the package will automatically figure out the source and base from the provided indexes.

# Fetch data based on the template
obj <- get_series(template, start_date = "2012/05/22", cache = FALSE)

# Display the results
print(obj)

Accessing Combined and Lines Data Frames

Once you have retrieved your data using the defined series, you can access the combined data frame and the lines data frame using the following structures:

# Access the combined data frame
combined_data <- obj$data

# Access the 'lines' data frame
lines_data <- obj$lines

This structure allows you to easily navigate through the object to access specific data frames.

df_raw <- o$data

df_raw
# # A tibble: 287 × 3

remove_na_safe

This function removes rows from both ends of a data frame until it identifies a row where all columns have non-NA values. The process involves two steps:

  1. Trimming from the Beginning: It starts from the beginning and removes rows until it encounters a row with complete data in all columns.

  2. Trimming from the End: After the initial trimming, it proceeds to remove rows from the end of the data frame, eliminating any rows with at least one NA value in any column, until it reaches a row where all columns contain non-NA values.

The process stops when it finds a row where all columns contain non-NA values, and the resulting data frame is returned.

Usage:

# Example data frame
example_data <- data.frame(
  A = c(1, 2, 3, NA, 5),
  B = c(NA, 2, 3, 4, 5),
  C = c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
)

# Remove NA values from both ends
cleaned_data <- remove_na_safe(example_data)

# View the cleaned data frame
print(cleaned_data)

In this example, the function remove_na_safe is applied to the example_data data frame. The resulting cleaned_data will have rows removed from both ends until a row with non-NA values in all columns is reached.

df <- remove_na_safe(df_raw )

lag_df

The lag_df function creates additional columns based on a list of column names and lag sequences. This feature is beneficial for scenarios where you need varying lag selections for certain columns, allowing flexibility in specifying different lags for different columns or opting for no lag at all.

Usage Example:

# Example data frame
example_data <- data.frame(
  a = c(10, 20, 30, 40, 50),
  b = c(100, 200, 300, 400, 500)
)

# Applying lag_df function with specified lag sequences
lagged_data <- lag_df(example_data, list(a = 1:3, b = 1:2))

# View the lagged data frame
print(lagged_data)

# A tibble: 5 × 7
      a     b a_lag_1 a_lag_2 a_lag_3 b_lag_1 b_lag_2
  <dbl> <dbl>   <dbl>   <dbl>   <dbl>   <dbl>   <dbl>
1    10   100      NA      NA      NA      NA      NA
2    20   200      10      NA      NA     100      NA
3    30   300      20      10      NA     200     100
4    40   400      30      20      10     300     200
5    50   500      40      30      20     400     300

In this example, the lag_df function is applied to the example_data data frame with specified columns (a and b) and corresponding lag sequences (1:3 and 1:6). The resulting lagged_data will have additional columns representing the specified lags.

df2 <- lag_df( df , list( TP_YSSK_A1 = 1 : 3 , TP_YSSK_A2 = 1 : 6 ) )
df2
# # A tibble: 263 × 12

Accessing Individual Data Frames

Once you have retrieved your data using the defined series, individual data frames can be accessed using the following structure:

your_data <- object$lines$data

This structure allows you to navigate through the object to access specific data frames.
