rorcid 0.4.0

Most changes in this version are to update the package to work with the new ORCID API (v2.1). (#37) (#40)

NEW FEATURES

  • rorcid now support OAuth authentication. We still recommend to not use OAuth, but to get a token and store that as an environment variable. See ?orcid_auth for help (#26)
  • To work with the new ORCID API, we've introduced new functions: orcid_activities(), orcid_address(), orcid_auth(), orcid_bio(), orcid_educations(), orcid_email(), orcid_employments(), orcid_external_identifiers(), orcid_fundings(), orcid_keywords(), orcid_other_names(), orcid_peer_reviews(), orcid_person(), orcid_ping(), orcid_researcher_urls(), orcid_works()
  • we've introduced a new packcage import data.table for binding lists together into a data.frame

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

  • Fixes to identifiers() for new API. Includes better failure behavior on classes it doesn't support (#34) (#39)
  • No changes here other than adding some examples, but ORCID API now allows ot search on some works metadata (e.g., titles) (#33)
  • Examples added for searching on specific fields (#36)
  • orcid_id() changed internally; now wraps the new function orcid_person() (#41)
  • using Markdown docs now (#35)
  • replaced httr with crul for HTTP requests. we have retained httr only to do OAuth (#32)
  • orcid_id() loses its profile parameter due to the ORCID API change. it does pass on parameters to orcid_person(), so see that man file
  • works() now returns a tibble/data.frame instead of a list of items
  • A much updated package level man file with lots of docs

rorcid 0.3.0

NEW FEATURES

  • Added a vignette (#20)
  • orcid_id() function gains output for employment and funding (#24) (#29)

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

  • change all is() calls to inherits() (#30)
  • using tibble package now for compact data.frame outputs instead of internal code. an associated change in the output of both orcid() and orcid_doi() is that we now return a tibble (data.frame) instead of a data.frame as a slot in a list. we add how many results are returned from your search as an attribute on the data.frame. Access it like attr(out, "found") (#25)
  • base ORCID API URL changed from http to https scheme
  • genereal improvements to documentation throughout package

DEPRECATED AND DEFUNCT

  • summary.or_id() is now defunct. see ?rorcid-defunct

rorcid 0.2.2

NEW FEATURES

  • Require httr >= v1.1.0 (#23)

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

  • Updated dplyr tidy data.frame internal code (#21)
  • Changes to internal use of httr::content() to parse to text, then read JSON manually using jsonlite & to always set encoding explicitly in the same calls (#22)

BUG FIXES

  • Fix to as.orcid() and presumably other function calls by requiring httr >= v1.1.0 because older versions cause a problem when parsing responses (#23) thanks @ericwatt

rorcid 0.2.0

NEW FEATURES

  • released to CRAN
