geckor 0.3.0

Major changes

CoinGecko significantly reduced the rate limit of the free version of its API - from 50 to ca. 10-30 calls/minute. This had a dramatic effect on how geckor functions and how much data can be retrieved using its functions. In particular, the following changes had to be introduced in v0.3.0:

• All of the coin_history_* functions now accept a much smaller number of coin IDs to process simultaneously (5 vs 30 in v0.2.0).
• The coin_tickers() function retrieves up to 5 pages of data.
• Tests are now skipped not only on CRAN but also when ping() returns FALSE before running the test.
• Examples in the package documentation now won’t execute when running R CMD check.
• Examples in vignettes are not evaluated any more.

Minor changes

• Package documentation modified according to the introduced changes.

geckor 0.2.02021-11-01

Major changes

• Significant speed-up (at least 3x) of the coin_history() and coin_history_range() functions.
• All of the coin_history_* functions have been re-written so that they can retrieve data for multiple coins (up to 30) in one call.
• The internal api_request() function has been modified to fail more gracefully when the API calls time out or errors occur.

Minor changes

• Modified vignettes to reflect major changes in the package.
• Modified vignettes to avoid hard failures during their build (caused by going over the API rate limit).
• Minor improvements and edits in the package documentation.
