Changelog • stortingscrape

stortingscrape 0.5.0

Major changes
- The single-id data-retrieving functions now accept a vector of ids. Passing several ids (e.g. get_question(c(id1, id2))) retrieves them all in one call: functions returning a data.frame bind the rows together, while functions returning a list (e.g. get_mp_bio(), get_case(), get_publication()) return a named list of results keyed by id. A single id behaves exactly as before, so existing code is unaffected. Individual ids that fail are turned into warnings so a single bad id does not discard the successful ones.
- All API calls now respect Stortinget’s documented rate limit of 100 calls per minute. Requests are throttled automatically and transient 429 Too Many Requests responses are retried (respecting the Retry-After header). The good_manners argument remains available for additional polite pacing.
Minor changes
- The shared httr2 request pipeline was refactored into internal helpers (api_perform(), api_get()), removing roughly a thousand lines of duplicated boilerplate across the data-retrieving functions with no change to their returned output.
- Minimum httr2 version is now 1.1.0.

CRAN release: 2025-04-07

Minor changes

CRAN release: 2025-03-07

Major changes
- Changed get_mp_pic() to utilize the magick package instead if imagr when show_plot = TRUE
Minor changes
- Added color pallette for current political parties in the Storting

Minor changes
- Fixed call to sleep in get_publication() function (was missing)
- Redirected citation to inst/CITATION file

CRAN release: 2024-01-18

Minor changes
- Fixed an error in get_session_cases(), where the structuring of case proposers did not run in parallel, as was intended.

Major changes:
- Replaced magrittr (%>%) pipes with native pipes (|>)
- Converted all get_*() functions from httr to httr2
- Changed $spokespersons in get_session_cases() to data frame. This will break backwards compatibility (sorry!).
- Rewrote the decision_text variable inget_session_decisions() so that residual html is stripped from the output. This might break some text processing applications (sorry!).
- Rewrote the date and info sections of get_session_hearings() to data.frames instead of lists. This might break some text processing applications (sorry!).
Minor changes:
- Rewrote the proceedings_steps variable inget_proceedings() to be scalable to changes in the API. Should not break backwards compatibility.

Major changes
- Fixed a bug in get_session_questions(), where the presence of unanswered questions returned an error instead of NA
- Removed a variable from get_vote() because it suddenly disappeared from the API.
- Fixed an issue where ifelse() lines returned only one element when it was supposed to return several due to someone not realizing the vectorization rules of the function. Affected functions were: get_case(), get_hearing_program(), get_question(), get_result_vote(), get_session_cases(), and get_session_questions(). Only get_case() was significant, in that it listed all bill sponsors as being from the same party.
Minor changes
- Fixed some typos in the readme
- Reworked the read_obt() function for the package not to rely on dplyr
- Added a hex badge logo. Extremely important.
