readimf 0.1.0
- Initial CRAN release.
- Access International Monetary Fund data through the new IMF ‘SDMX’
3.0 API at https://data.imf.org, returned as a tidy
imf_tbl with provenance.
imf_weo() downloads World Economic Outlook series,
including historical forecast vintages.
imf_data() fetches any data flow by key.
imf_dataflows(), imf_search(),
imf_codelist(), imf_countries() and
imf_dimensions() browse the catalogue and metadata.
imf_ifs() routes retired International Financial
Statistics codes to their new thematic data flows, and
imf_ifs_map() shows the crosswalk.
- Named database wrappers with sensible defaults:
imf_cpi(), imf_dots() (bilateral goods trade),
imf_cofer() (reserve currency composition),
imf_commodity() (primary commodity prices) and
imf_gfs() (government finance). Balance of payments and
financial soundness indicators are defined in the API but not yet
populated, and will follow.
