bunddev 0.2.3 (2026-04-22)

CRAN resubmission

• Replace outdated documentation URLs that redirected during CRAN incoming checks with direct https://*.api.bund.dev/ URLs.
• Reword the package description to avoid a CRAN spell-check note on "tibbles".

bunddev 0.2.2

CRAN resubmission

• Use a temporary cache directory during R CMD check to avoid persistent cache writes in user space.
• Harden network-dependent tests so upstream DNS / HTTP failures skip cleanly instead of failing package checks.

bunddev 0.2.1 (2026-02-16)

Documentation

• Expanded function documentation across core modules and all adapters:
  • standardized safe / refresh parameter wording,
  • fully documented flatten / flatten_mode behavior,
  • added explicit return-structure descriptions for adapter and core helpers.
• Improved parameter discoverability:
  • added detailed @param params documentation where stable,
  • added consistent @seealso links to bunddev_parameters() for functions with query params.
• Standardized upstream API links in help pages (API documentation: \\url{...}).

pkgdown

• Added @family coverage across exported functions for better reference grouping.
• Reorganized _pkgdown.yml reference sections by core topics and adapter families.
• Added bunddev_ms_to_posix() and bunddev_timestamp_to_ms() to the pkgdown reference index.

bunddev 0.2.0 (2026-02-13)

Bug Fixes

• Fixed response cache collision for path-based API calls (dip_bundestag): path was not included in the cache key, causing all list endpoints to return identical data.
• Fixed dip_bundestag detail endpoints crashing on responses with mixed-length list fields by wrapping list/vector values as list-columns.
• Fixed handelsregister search returning 0 results due to missing JSF submit button field (form:btnSuche).
• Fixed handelsregister false-positive error detection (the error-message div is always present in the HTML template).

Improvements

• Expanded dip_bundestag test coverage to all 16 exported functions.
• Updated active adapter count from 39 to 33.

Dormant Adapters

Moved 6 adapters to inst/dormant/ due to upstream issues:

• interpol: Akamai JavaScript-based bot detection blocks non-browser clients.
• zoll: Endpoints removed (site redesigned) and Radware bot protection.
• berufssprachkurssuche: Public OAuth2 credentials revoked by Bundesagentur fuer Arbeit.
• coachingangebote: Public OAuth2 credentials revoked by Bundesagentur fuer Arbeit.
• entgeltatlas: Public OAuth2 credentials revoked by Bundesagentur fuer Arbeit; confirmed no official public API.
• weiterbildungssuche: Endpoint returns HTTP 403; undocumented internal endpoint with revoked credentials.

bunddev 0.1.0 (2026-02-08)

Initial Release

First public release of bunddev - a comprehensive R interface to German government and public sector APIs available through bund.dev.

Package Structure

• Registry System: Centralized API registry with automatic endpoint discovery
• Core OpenAPI Client: Generic client layer for exploring specs and making requests
• 39 API Adapters: Ready-to-use functions returning tidy tibbles for:
  • Government data (Bundestag, Bundesrat, Bundeshaushalt)
  • Environmental data (DWD weather, Luftqualität, SMARD energy, Pegel water levels)
  • Public services (Jobsuche, Weiterbildungssuche, Ausbildungssuche)
  • Transportation (Autobahn, Ladestationen)
  • Cultural data (Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek, Tagesschau)
  • And many more (see full list in README)

Key Features

• Authentication Support: Flexible authentication system supporting API keys, OAuth2, and custom schemes
• Response Caching: Built-in caching to reduce API load and improve performance
• Rate Limiting: Configurable rate limiting to respect API quotas
• Tidy Output: All adapters return tibbles with consistent structure
• Time Handling: Automatic parsing of timestamps to POSIXct (Europe/Berlin timezone)
• Parameter Discovery: Helper functions to explore available parameters for each API
• Comprehensive Documentation: Vignettes, function documentation, and examples included

Bug Fixes

• Fixed R CMD check errors and warnings
• Fixed DDB authentication to use correct OAuth format
• Exported time conversion utilities (bunddev_ms_to_posix(), bunddev_timestamp_to_ms())
• Corrected package build configuration

bunddev 0.0.0.9000

• Added shared timestamp helpers and parsed POSIXct time columns (Europe/Berlin) across SMARD, DWD, Autobahn, and Tagesschau adapters.
• SMARD helpers now accept POSIXct/Date timestamps and return parsed time columns for series and table outputs.
• DWD helpers add parsed forecast, report, and warning time columns; Tagesschau and Autobahn helpers add parsed date/time columns.
• Documented parameter discovery helpers and time columns in README/vignette and adapter helpfiles.
• Initial package scaffolding with registry and OpenAPI helpers.
