This includes data that is unavailable in the previous world bank API * Has the ability to return data in a "wide" format (indicators are columns) with the return_wide = TRUE option * More explicit error messaging * Has a lastUpdated field for each data source CRAN: https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=wbstats Github: https://github.com/GIST-ORNL/wbstats A getting started with wbstats article, including examples with sf, ggplot2, and leaflet https://jesse.netlify.com/2018/01/05/getting-started-with-wbstats-a-world-bank-r-package/ Thanks!
