flx_download_statutes() now fails gracefully
(returning whatever data was retrieved so far, with an informative
message) instead of raising an uncaught error when the Finlex API is
unreachable or rate-limits the request (HTTP 429). This addresses a CRAN
policy compliance issue: all other exported functions already had this
protection, but flx_download_statutes(), being the first
function written, had been missed.flx_get_text(): get the full text of a statute, split
into one row per section.flx_get_doc(): retrieve documents from the generic
doc endpoint (treaties, government proposals, authority
regulations, and certain collective agreements). Documents with no
machine-readable text (only a scanned PDF) are reported with
status = "pdf_only" and a pdf_url.flx_get_consolidated_text(): get the consolidated
(up-to-date) text of a statute, with all amendments merged in.flx_download_statutes(): download the catalogue of
Finnish statutes for a given range of years and statute categories.flx_get_title(): get the official title of one or more
statutes.flx_get_metadata(): get structured metadata (date
issued, title, number of sections) for one or more statutes.flx_get_affected(): get the statute(s) affected by an
amending or repealing statute.These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
