This is a ground-up rewrite. dataseries.org now serves its data
through a public API (api.dataseries.org), and the package
has been rebuilt around it. The old flat series identifiers
(e.g. "CCI.AIK") no longer exist, so this release is
not backward compatible.
ds(dataset, ..., from, to, class) is the new download
function. The first argument is a dataset id; dimension filters are
passed as named arguments
(e.g. ds("ch_seco_gdp", type = "real", structure = "gdp")).
The default data.frame is returned in long (tidy) format;
class = "ts" lays the selected series out as columns. The
xts option (and the xts dependency) has been
dropped, as all series are regular-frequency and covered by
ts.ds_catalog() lists all datasets (replaces
inventory()).ds_search(pattern) is a flat, searchable list of the
individual series across all datasets — the finest-grained way to
discover what exists.ds_meta(dataset) returns a dataset’s dimensions and
codes, for discovery.inventory() is deprecated; it now
warns and calls ds_catalog().cache_ls() / cache_rm() continue to manage
the in-memory cache.class = "ts".inventory(), returns a data.frame with all
series on www.dataseries.org.
