I am working with Dan Moore to update his function that uses the ECCC API to pull single station meteorological data. I have created a function, an R file with tests, and updated the Description files with a new package.
Description
Function: get_eccc_single_station -> This function utilizes the ECCC API to pull data from single stations. It has many checks to ensure the user is entering correct information, it makes the API request, and it returns a data frame if the pull request was successful. If the request returns no data, a message is printed expressing there is no data. It also accounts for the API pull limit, using the limit and offset parameters in a loop, to ensure all records are pulled.
Tests: test_get_eccc_single_station-> This utilizes the testthat() package to make sure the function runs properly.
Update: DESCRIPTION -> I added the package dependency data.table() to the document.
