query_surfaces(): Query the POWER API for Detailed Information on Wind Type Surfaces
query_groupings(): Query the POWER API for Detailed Information on Available Parameter Groupings
query_parameters now allows you to retrieve rich metadata for the parameters.
Error, warning and other informational messages are now all formatted with {cli} for more attractive and informative messages.
The username passed along to the POWER API is now “nasapower4r” to support other packages built on {nasapower} that could use {vcr} in tests. Previously the user agent string took the version of {nasapower} and appended it, e.g., “nasapower410” for v4.1.0. Doing so breaks tests in packages relying on {nasapower} due to incompatibilities in cassettes, while not affecting functionality.
Fix formula in documentation that didn’t display properly in HTML.
Fix non-functional link in documentation.
Fix code coverage badging.
Use {cli} and {rlang} for clear messages for end users.
Use argument matching for function arguments where practical.
The temporal_api argument of get_power() now defaults to “daily”, previously it had no default value.
The temporal_average argument for get_power() has now been removed after being deprecated and issuing a message to users to use temporal_api instead since release 4.0.0.
Replaces & or | with the proper && or ||.
Corrects documentation titles for functions to be title case.
Fixes the CRAN badge in the README.
Updates {vcr} configuration files for testing.
Reorder README to stress that this is not the data source and should not be cited as such.
Tidy up minor bits-n-pieces in documentation to make it nicer, e.g., grammar corrections, using \dQuote{} rather than """ in ROxygen.
Uses sprintf() rather than paste() where possible.
Update {vcr} configuration and infrastructure to use .json cassettes.
Remove an example that no longer works with the API.
Remove incorrect documentation about rate limiting and include details on how to use rate limiting.
Ensure tests are skipped on CRAN, thanks Maëlle!
Use skip_if_offline() rather than skip_on_cran() for tests.
Redoc package to align with CRAN policies on well-formed HTML.
Update list of allowed parameters for querying the API, (18e4495e0ca2e9f14006260c019ac878a3023843).

Fixes bug when requesting site_elevation. Thanks to @daniel_althoff for reporting this bug Issue 69.

site_elevation corrected data. Thanks to @daniel_althoff for reporting this bug Issue 69.Thefileargument ofvroom()must useI()for literal data as of vroom 1.5.0.. Thanks to @palderman for the fix in Pull Request 67.Update checks for number of parameters requested by user, maximum of 15 for hourly and 20 for all other temporal APIs.
Return API messages to user to assist with troubleshooting when an error occurs server-side, see Issue 55.
The list of POWER parameters that can be queried from the API, parameters, is now in alphabetical order.
Add paragraph to vignette describing how to work with possible rate limiting by API endpoints using ratelimitr. This is in place of internally rate-limiting due to the way ratelimitr handles function creation and the fact that the rate limits are extremely generous and may change as the project matures.
NA values were improperly handled. Thanks to [@femiguez](https://github.com/femiguez) for the Pull Request with the fix.Enforces API limits client-side where the API limits unique queries to 30 per 60 seconds as found and reported by [@camwur](https://github.com/camwur) in Issue 57. This can be adjusted in future releases of nasapower if the POWER API changes as has been indicated is possible.
(Re)enables vcr for better unit testing.
More comprehensive unit tests.
Adds support for new NASA POWER API v2.0, which includes new hourly data and other major changes to the API and available data. See https://power.larc.nasa.gov/ for fully detailed changes to the data.
Drops support for the deprecated NASA POWER API V1.0. Previous versions of nasapower are no longer functional.
Adds new function, query_parameters() to fetch information from the API on individual and all available community/temporal API combination parameters.
Removes SSE community, replaced with RE.
Removes global option for geographic coverage as passed along through the latlon argument of get_power().
Directly parse data from API response rather than downloading data to disk and importing.
get_power() arguments are changed:
wind_elevation, andwind_surface,temporal_average argument has been superseded by temporal_api to align with the terminology used in the POWER API. The temporal_average argument will still work, however, a message will be given if a user still uses temporal_average to alert the user of the change and ask them to update their scripts.Improved documentation.
Removes internal references to ICASA format files that are no longer supported in this client.
-99.00 value rather than the proper NA for missing data. Thanks to Fernando Miguez, https://github.com/femiguez, for the assistance in isolating the issue.Due to the removal of the CRAN package APSIM from CRAN, the removal of the create_met() function has been implemented sooner than expected to keep nasapower on CRAN.
Deprecates create_met()
create_icasa()Correct any missing or redirecting URLs
Replace deprecated subclass with class in new_tibble()
Following a UNIX-like philosophy, this release removes functionality to write APSIM .met and DSSAT ICASA files to disk. nasapower now will only fetch the appropriate data and return a tibble() object in-session, please use apsimx or the POWER web API data access viewer, https://power.larc.nasa.gov/data-access-viewer/, for fetching and/or writing .met or .icasa files, respectively. Note that create_icasa() ideally should have been deprecated, but the server was not responding properly when queried for some time before the current release of nasapower so the function has been removed.
Add ability to get_power() to accept a user-provided site_elevation parameter that is passed to the API. When this is used it will return a corrected atmospheric pressure value adjusted to the elevation provided.
Use newest values from POWER team to validate user inputs for API requests, see https://github.com/ropensci/nasapower/issues/48 for more.

Fixes bug in documentation for create_icasa() where the parameter for file_out was misidentified as just file
Fixes bug where .met files were not created properly including where “radn” and “rain” col headers were reversed
Fix Warning: Must pass a scalar integer as 'nrow' argument to 'new_tibble()'.

GLOBAL values are requested. This is now specified in lonlat in conjunction with temporal_average = CLIMATOLOGY.Adds example of fetching climate for a single point
