get_country_info_br() was removed from the package.
The ‘REST Countries API’ v3.1 endpoint it depended on was deprecated by
its provider. The replacement v5 endpoint now requires an API key, which
is incompatible with CRAN’s policy on packages using Internet resources
(they must work without user-provided credentials). As a consequence,
the ‘REST Countries API’ is no longer used by
BrazilDataAPI.
get_brazil_vehicle_brands() was removed from the
package due to persistent server errors (HTTP status 500) returned by
its underlying data source, which prevented the function from reliably
retrieving data and caused it to fail CRAN’s requirement that functions
using Internet resources fail gracefully rather than error out.
get_country_info() was renamed to
get_country_info_br() to avoid naming conflicts with other
packages and improve function identification.The following APIs were added to the BrazilDataAPI
package:
Nager.Date https://date.nager.at/Api.
