Asiaverse: A Metapackage for Asian Countries RESTful APIs and Curated
Datasets
A metapackage that brings together a comprehensive collection
of R packages providing access to APIs functions and curated datasets from China, Japan,
South Korea, India, and Indonesia. It includes real-time and historical data through public
RESTful APIs (Nager.Date, World Bank API, REST Countries API) and extensive curated
collections of open datasets covering economics, demographics, public health,
environmental data, natural disasters, political indicators, and social metrics.
Designed to provide researchers, analysts, educators, and data scientists with
centralized access to Asian data sources, this metapackage facilitates
reproducible research, comparative analysis, and teaching applications focused
on these five major Asian countries.
Included packages:
- 'ChinAPIs': APIs functions and curated datasets for China and Hong Kong covering air quality, demographics, input-output tables, epidemiology, political structure, and social indicators.
- 'JapanAPIs': APIs functions and curated datasets for Japan including natural disasters, economic production, vehicle industry, air quality, demographics, and administrative divisions.
- 'SouthKoreAPIs': APIs functions and curated datasets for South Korea covering public health outbreaks, social surveys, elections, economic indicators, natural disasters, climate data, energy consumption, cultural information, and financial markets.
- 'IndiAPIs': APIs functions and curated datasets for India with comprehensive collections and real-time access to economic, demographic, and geopolitical indicators.
- 'IndonesiAPIs': APIs functions and curated datasets for Indonesia covering holidays, economic indicators, consumer prices, poverty probability, food prices by region, tourism destinations, and minimum wage statistics.
