Please note that there are breaking changes introduced in this major version release for the weather(), flow(), and incidents() functions. Be sure to review the updated documentation to understand how these changes may affect your usage.
flow() and incident() requests (closes #158)weather().sf, data.frames, the input for points and areas of interest now also allows for sfc geometry columns.aoi from the country border of Switzerland to the districts of Zurich. This change was necessary because the flow() and incident() requests have a maximum allowed width and height of 1 degree for the bounding box of the input AOIs.intermodal_route().snowFall column to numeric in weather observation request.defunct.R and deprecated.R to avoid NOTE (closes #162).R-CMD-check.yaml and pkgdown.yaml."scooter", "taxi", "bus", "privateBus" in route() and route_matrix()."car", "truck", "taxi" and "bus" in route(). The new boolean parameter vignettes defines if vignettes should be in inlcuded in the total toll cost of routes (closes #151).set_currency() to allow changing the currency used in toll requests to a currency code compliant to ISO 4217. The default currency is the current system locale setting. If the monetary formatting category "LC_MONETARY" of the C locale is not set, "USD" is set as default.aggregate = FALSE as default in isoline() (closes #153).weather(), due to Status 429; Too Many Requests;."visibility" and "snowCover" to numeric in weather(..., product = "observation"), as they contain non numeric character values (NAs introduced by coercion).route(..., arrival = TRUE) works.sapply is not type safe, replace its use with vapply(..., FUN.VALUE = type).master and releases are tagged after CRAN has accepted the package submission, which triggers the documentation build.isoline(..., traffic=FALSE) (closes #147)..connection_summary to avoid error in CPL_geos_union (@panhypersebastos).set_freemium topic to index in pkgdown.HERE_RPS to HERE_FREEMIUM, and the function hereR::set_rate_limit() to hereR::set_freemium(). Use the HERE_FREEMIUM environment variable to determine a plan-specific size of sub-matrices in the hereR::route_matrix() function (@szaboildi, #138).hereR::set_rate_limit() (closes #137).geocode() (closes #136).connection() (closes #130).route_matrix(). Removed query optimization because switching the IDs results in reversed route information (closes #129).optimize parameter to chose from “balanced”, “quality” and “performance” in isoline() (closes #119).route(), route_matrix() and isoline().hereR/<version> R/<version> (<platform>).set_rate_limit(FALSE).isoline() now handles multipart polygons (MULTIPOLYGON) if received by the API (closes #121).route() (closes #117).tyler::tidyverse_style()to format the package.sfc class of the geometry column when there is only one geometry/row in a data.table (closes #111).queryScore in geocode() results as score column (closes #109).sf::st_union call in connection(..., summary = TRUE).route(), intermodal_route() and connection().route_matrix() from Routing API v7.2 (calculatematrix) to Matrix Routing API v8 (see #87).isoline() from Routing API v7.2 (calculateisoline) to Isoline Routing API v8 (see #87).route() from Routing API v7.2 (calculateroute) to Routing API v8, which brings the elevation to the route geometries (closes #87). Note: Currently arrival time is not yet supported.geocode() with the updated API v7.2 as it did with the previous API v6 (closes #98).mode and type in route(), route_matrix() and isoline(), use transport_mode and routing_mode instead.connection() and intermodal_route() (closes #94)." " to a space pipe combination " | " (closes #102).geocode() from v6.2 to v7 (closes #52). Note: The argument autocomplete is defunct and the argument addresses is deprecated, use address instead.geocode() to position coordinates (display position) and return access coordinates (navigation position) as additional column in well-known text format (closes #53).geocode() and reverse_geocode() independent of the input address level (closes #58).reverse_geocode() from v6.2 to v7. Note: The argument landmarks is defunct.autocomplete() is defunct, please use autosuggest().connection() and station() from v3 to v8 (closes #62). Note: Now the geometries (LINESTRING) of the pedestrian sections are also included in the public transport routes returned by connection().set_proxy() and unset_proxy(). Use a global proxy configuration for R in ~/.Renviron instead.intermodal_route() from Berlin to Switzerland, as the service is now also available there.sf argument to geocode() function. If TRUE, the default, an {sf} object is returned, if FALSE a data.frame with lng and lat columns. (@dpprdan, #44)intermodal_route() adds support for requesting intermodal routes between given pairs of locations.set_verbose() function to define (for the current R session) if the hereR package should message information about the number of requests sent and data received (default = FALSE).st_make_valid(), but sf does. Therefore lwgeom is moved from the package dependencies to the suggestions (see #38).traffic() function, which has been replaced by the functions flow() and incident().route_matrix() (see #30).origin and destination are now accepted as input in route_matrix() (see #31).flow() and incident() to access traffic flow and incidents from the Traffic API. Deprecated the traffic() function.set_auth() and unset_auth() are defunct and replaced by set_key() and unset_key() (see #23)..Deprecated() was skipped because the API endpoints have also changed. After updating to a version greater than 0.2.1 the authentication must be adjusted.traffic(..., product = "flow"). Now it is possible to only retrieve flow information of severe congestion with a jam factor greater than min_jam_factor, which speeds up requests.connection() implements requesting the most efficient and relevant transit connections between given pairs of locations.station() retrieves nearby public transit stations with corresponding line information.start parameter to origin and unified the utilization of the datetime and arrival parameters in route(), route_matrix(), isoline() and connection().c("POSIXct", "POSIXt") inputs for the requests (mostly departure) are converted to UTC using .encode_datetime() and the responses are parsed and returned in the input timezone (or if missing: Sys.timezone()) using .parse_datetime() (see #28).@import sf to the package documentation to ensure sf objects are handled correctly.departure and arrival datetime column to the return value of route(), route_matrix() and isoline().data.table object type from function return values. New: Pure data.frame or sf, data.frame because this integrates better with other packages (e.g. the overline2() function from the stplanr package).traffic(): Clarified that from_dt and to_dt have no effect on the traffic flow (product = "flow"). Traffic flow is always real-time. Detailed documentation of the variables in the return value.testthat.id column to the output of geocode() and removed the id ordered row.names in order to be consistent with other functions of the package. Using the id column the addresses to geocode can be joined to the coordinates after geocoding (see #9).id column also to autocomplete(), reverse_geocode(), route(), isoline(), traffic() and weather(). Using the id column the result can be joined to the input..get_content(). The id column is still in correct order, even if there are failing requests in a function call (see #17).rownames() <- NULL to all functions before returning the result.city column in the returned object of weather() to station, as it stands for the name of the nearest meteorological station.geocode(): In the case of empty responses the row names match the index of the geocoded addresses. Improved input checks. Option to use autocomplete by setting autocomplete = TRUE.autocomplete() allows autocompleting addresses.reverse_geocode() implements reverse geocoding POIs in order to retrieve suggestions for addresses or landmarks.First release of the hereR package, an sf-based interface to the HERE REST APIs. The packages binds to the following HERE APIs:
Locations and routes are returned as sf objects and tables as data.table objects.
