• New method to obtain variable metadata from the APIs get_variables_from

  • For now only working in meteocat

• Fixed #34. Since 25/11/2025 MeteoGalicia started returning some NULL elements on the json body response, generating an error when converting to tibble

• RIA API:

  • Manage responses without body

meteospain 0.3.0 (2025-11-12)

• Refactored API connections, now using httr2 instead of httr (#31). This also dropped other dependencies.

• AEMET API:

  • Documented new limit (12h) in AEMET for current day (#32)

• MeteoCat API:

  • Now the especific 429 error that happens when monthly requests limit is reached is catched and the user informed

meteospain 0.2.2 (2025-10-01)

• MeteoGalicia API:
  • Fixed bug in instant data which failed for some stations without 2m wind data.
• AEMET API:
  • Better API messages parsing
  • Removed fix ssl level on linux machines as aemet now offers latest certs

meteospain 0.2.1 (2025-07-01)

• All APIs:
  • Updated variables returned (data more complete) in all temporal scales with focus on atmospheric pressure (#19, #27, #28)
• New cache method. memoise dependency is dropped and cachem is used directly.
  • new cache reduces significantly API calls, especially in meteocat (#29).
  • new cache avoids caching temporal resolutions below daily, where data changes between API calls (#29).
• MeteoCat API:
  • Updated variables returned for all temporal resolutions. Now all possible variables are returned (#28).
  • timestamp values are now floored accordingly to the temporal resolution (#30)
• AEMET API:
  • Updated API errors managing. Retry number when curl error occurs increased to 2. Also added 0.4 seconds of wait between API calls.

  • Added relative humidity vars to daily scale (#26).
• meteoclimatic API:
  • Fixed domain for new API (#24).

• New dependencies
  • Added cli to manage communication with the user (messages, warnings and errors)
• Minor changes
  • Improved tests

  • AEMET API: insolation variable added to returned AEMET current data
  • RIA API: improved messages
  • meteogalicia API: improved error managing
  • meteogalicia API: improved path creation

• Added safe versions of httr::GET and xml2::read_xml. If the API is down or not reachable, the error is caught.
• Tests for aemet and meteocat use now env backend for keyring
• Fixed parsing of dates in meteoclimatic to make it independent of the system's locale
• Fixed tidy error when retrieving MeteoCat data from 2008 to 2010 (#11)
