rwalkr 0.5.7

• Updated melb_walk_fast() to be compatible with the data API change.

rwalkr 0.5.6

• Updated melb_walk_fast() to be compatible with the data API change.

rwalkr 0.5.5

Fixed a typo in melb_weather().

rwalkr 0.5.4

Added a new set of functions to scrape Melbourne microclimate data. (@sa-lee)

rwalkr 0.5.3

• Updated API URL in melb_walk().

rwalkr 0.5.2

• Included newly-installed sensors.

rwalkr 0.5.1

• Export melb_walk_directional().

rwalkr 0.5.0

• New function melb_walk_directional() to access minute by minute directional pedestrian counts for the last hour from pedestrian sensor devices located across the city.
• Fixed pull_sensor() due to the Socrata API URL change.
• Defunct lookup_sensor(), walk_melb(), run_melb() and shine_melb() in favour of suffixed function names.

rwalkr 0.4.0

• Fixed status “400” for melb_walk_fast() (previously run_melb()) due to Socrata API changes.
• Deprecated walk_melb(), run_melb() and shine_melb() in favour of suffixed function names.

rwalkr 0.3.4

• Fixed date-time formatting for Socrata data update

rwalkr 0.3.3

API changes

• Dropped the argument of tweak in walk_melb(), as the sensor names from the data source match with run_melb().

Minor changes

• Dropped the match column in the data frame called from lookup_sensor().

rwalkr 0.3.2

Major changes

• Returned a tibble (tbl_ts) instead of data.frame.

Minor changes

• Specified the requirement version of shiny to the DESCRIPTION file.

rwalkr 0.3.1

Bug fixes

• Fixed “Count” to be returned as integers instead of characters in run_melb(na.rm = FALSE).
• Fixed duplicated data entries when walk_melb(tweak = TRUE).
• Fixed one non-matching sensor in lookup_sensor().

Updates

• A new sensor “Pelham St (S)” added to run_melb(), pull_sensor(), and lookup_sensor() using Socrata.
• Changed the shiny app using shine_melb() to use walk_melb(tweak = TRUE).

rwalkr 0.3.0

New functions

• run_melb() pulls Melbourne pedestrian data using Socrata, which is faster than walk_melb().
• pull_sensor() pulls Melbourne pedestrian sensor locations using Socrata.
• lookup_sensor() provides a dictionary for sensor names used in walk_melb() and run_melb().

Minor changes

• Added new arguments na.rm = FALSE and tweak = FALSE to the function walk_melb(). If na.rm = TRUE, it removes NAs from the data. If tweak = TRUE, it ensures the consistency of sensor names to run_melb().

rwalkr 0.2.0

• Added the function shine_melb() to launch a shiny app. It provides two basic plots to take a glimpse at the data: one is an overlaying time series plot and the other showing a dot plot of missing values.

rwalkr 0.1.0

• Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package.
• Added the function walk_melb() to scrape Melbourne pedestrian data.

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.
