get_eurostat() use.data.table argument. This is especially useful with big datasets that would otherwise take a long time to go through the different data cleaning functions or crash R with their large memory footprint. (issue #277, PR #278)httr package to httr2 (issue #273, PR #276)list_eurostat_cache_items(). (Affects issues mentioned in #144, #257, #258, fixed in PR #267).eurostatTOC object (returned by get_eurostat_toc()) now use dots instead of spaces in the style of base::make.names(), e.g. turning last update of data to last.update.of.data (PR #271).eurostatTOC object includes a new hierarchy column that represents the position of each folder, dataset and table in the folder structure.search_eurostat() includes the option to search Table of Content items by dataset codes in addition to titles. This makes it possible to make further queries from similar datasets (e.g. “nama_10_gdp”, “nama_10r_2gdp”, “nama_10r_3popgdp”) that might have different titles.label_eurostat_tables() has been rewritten to use the new SDMX API instead of table_dic.dic file in Eurostat Bulk Download Listing (PR #271)get_eurostat_geospatial() now leverages on giscoR::gisco_get_nuts() for downloading geospatial data (PR #264, thanks to @dieghernan):
"spdf" output class soft-deprecated, it would return a sf object with a message.make_valid parameter soft-deprecated.... to the function so additional parametes can be passed to giscoR::gisco_get_nuts().eurostat_geodata_60_2016 updated.get_eurostat_geospatial() now requires sf package to work at all (PR #280, thanks to @dieghernan)get_eurostat() and get_eurostat_json() functions. The documentation now warns users about potential problems caused by time / TIME_PERIOD parameters when used to query datasets that contain quarterly data (issue #260)get_eurostat_dic() and label_eurostat() functions.get_bibentry() now outputs “Accessed YYYY-MM-DD” and “dataset last updated YYYY-MM-DD” in note field as otherwise it would be sporadically printed or not at all printed from urldate field.sp, methods and broom packages from dependencies.giscoR to Suggests. (PR #264)get_eurostat_interactive() for interactively searching and downloading data from Eurostat SDMX API. The function aims to make good data citation practices more prominently visible and also make it easier to explore what different arguments in get_eurostat() function do.eurostat:::fixity_checksum() to easily calculate a fixity checksum for datasets downloaded from Eurostat. The fixity checksum can, for example, be saved in research notes and reported in as part of data appendices. Printing the fixity checksum is encouraged by including an option to print it in every get_eurostat_interactive() query.clean_eurostat_toc() for easy removal of TOC objects from .EurostatEnv environment. (PR #278)check_lang() (PR #270)get_eurostat() function now explicity accepts a ‘lang’ argument, for passing onwards to get_eurostat_json() and label_eurostat() (PR #270)get_eurostat_folder() for downloading all datasets in a folder. The function is limited to downloading folders that contain at maximum 20 datasets. This function relies on new internal helper functions: toc_count_whitespace(), toc_determine_hierarchy(), toc_count_children() and toc_list_children(). (PR #270)get_eurostat_toc() and set_eurostat_toc() now have experimental features that support downloading TOCs in French and German as well. This support, in turn, is leveraged in get_bibentry() which now has a language parameter: lang (PR #270)get_eurostat_toc(), search_eurostat() now supports searching from French and German TOC-files as well (PR #270)grepEurostatTOC() is completely marked as defunct and is enroute to being removed from the package as search_eurostat() is now the only way to fetch Eurostat TOC items and search (grep) them (PR #270)label_eurostat_vars2 that has been removed in the final version, as promised earlier: “The old function will be completely removed after October 2023 when Eurostat Bulk Download Listing website is retired and label_eurostat_vars2 will be renamed to label_eurostat_vars()”. The new label_eurostat_vars() function uses the new SDMX API to retrieve names for dataset columns. Function evolution is subject to ongoing Eurostat API developments. (PR #270)get_bibentry() returns correct codes for titles and warns the user if some / all of the requested codes were not found in the TOC (PR #270)get_bibentry() uses the date field with the internal BibEntry format that can be easily translated to other formats: bibtex, bibentry (PR #270)get_bibentry() now outputs dataset codes in titles correctly so that bibtex and biblatex entries can be copypasted into bibliographies without adding escape characters manually (PR #270)eurotime2date() when handling big datasets containing weekly data and tens of millions of rows (dataset used for testing mentioned in issue #200).get_eurostat_json() and eurotime2date() functions (issue #251, reported by @lz1nwm). The get_eurostat_json() function uses the temporary eurotime2date() function for date handling until the old bulk download API is deprecated.curl::curl_download on Windows platforms instead of utils::download.file as the latter causes the following error: “error reading from the connection […] invalid or incomplete compressed data”. This affects only files downloaded from the new API.get_eurostat() and its assorted functions to download data from the new dissemination API (related to issues #251, #243). See Eurostat web page Transition - from Eurostat Bulk Download to API for a list of differences between old and new data sources: https://wikis.ec.europa.eu/display/EUROSTATHELP/Transition+-+from+Eurostat+Bulk+Download+to+APIget_eurostat_raw2, tidy_eurostat2, convert_time_col2, eurotime2date2, eurotime2num2 and label_eurostat2. When the old bulk download facilities are decommissioned, these functions will replace the old functions with old naming schemes (without the 2s at the end).tidy_eurostat2 function is now able to handle multiple time frequencies in one call: For example, you can download annual, quarterly, and monthly data simply by using a vector c(“A”, “Q”, “M”) in select_time instead of using these singular frequencies in separate calls. The function will also return multiple time series in one dataset if select_time is NULL (as it is by default). If the dataset contains multiple time series and these are explicitly downloaded / no select_time parameter is given, a message will be printed.eurotime2num can now handle monthly and weekly data as well.get_eurostat() function: legacy_bulk_download (default = TRUE). By setting this parameter to FALSE the user can download data from the new dissemination API. If you want to test the new API before it becomes the only way to download the data (and we very much encourage you to do so), set this parameter to FALSE.get_eurostat_json() to migrate from JSON web service to API Statistics (addressed in issues #243, #251). Please note that the output from JSON API is now slightly different than before: the datasets now contain a freq column to indicate the frequency with which data has been collected, for example annually “A”, monthly “M” or quarterly “Q”.

Added the same information to get_eurostat_geospatial() documentation as well.eurostat_geodata_60_2016 and get_eurostat_geospatial() documentation.get_eurostat_geospatial() by setting content encoding to UTF-8 when httr::content() function is called\code{}, \link{} syntax to markdown (issue #230, PR #231 by @dieghernan)options() command is no longer needed and the cache dir can be modified persistently with a custom function (issue #223, PR #228 by @dieghernan)add_nuts_level(), harmonize_geo_code(), recode_to_nuts_2016() and recode_to_nuts_2013(); these functions were moved to the new package regions. The problem of sub-national geo codes is explained in the new vignette “Mapping Regional Data, Mapping Metadata Problems”, which replaces the “Regional data examples for the eurostat R package” vignette. This is a shared vignette, but the new regions package has more articles on how to work with sub-national data. (issues #218 and #219, PR #220 by @antaldaniel)get_eurostat_geospatial() return a message if sf is not installed. This is to increase compatibility of eurostat-package on systems that have trouble installing sf (issue #213)\dontrun{} for a quick CRAN releaselabel_eurostat() has new countrycode and countrycode_nomatch arguments to label with countrycode package and custom_dic argument to add custom dictionary.label_eurostat() gives always an error by default, if labelling introduces duplicated labels. A new fix_duplicated argument is add to fix duplicated labels automatically. (#79, #90)search_eurostat() accepts new argument fixed: if TRUE (default), pattern provided will used as is; if FALSE, pattern will be interpreted as a true regex pattern.get_eurostat() returns tibbles (#52)get_eurostat_dic() and get_eurostat_toc() return tibblesread_tsv() is used instead of read.csv() (#29)harmonize_country_code() which converts the raw data values from EL to GR and from UK to GB.get_eurostat() can now get data also from the Eurostat JSON API via get_eurostat_json(). It also have a new argument type to select labels for variable values instead of codes.tidyr 0.4.0 (#47).select_time argument for get_eurostat() to select a time frequency in case of multi-frequency datasets. Now the get_eurostat() also gives an error if you try to get multi-frequency with other time formats than time_format = "raw". (#30) time column is also now in ascending order.get_eurostat() gets a new argument compress_file to control compression of the cache file. Also cache filenames includes now all relevant arguments. (#28)search_eurostat() a new type option type = "all" to search all types.label_eurostat() new arguments. A code to retain also codes for specified columns. A eu_order to order factor levels in Eurostat order, which uses the new function dic_order().label_eurostat_vars(x) gives labels for names, if x is other than a character or a factor and label_eurostat_tables(x) does not accept other than a character or a factor.get_eurostat() a new argument stringsAsFactors to control the factor conversion of variables.eurotime2date (and get_eurostat) convers now also daily data.These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
