get_country_info_br() was removed from the package. The 'REST Countries API' v3.1
endpoint it depended on was deprecated by its provider. The replacement v5 endpoint
now requires an API key, which is incompatible with CRAN's policy on packages using
Internet resources (they must work without user-provided credentials). As a
consequence, the 'REST Countries API' is no longer used by BrazilDataAPI.
get_brazil_vehicle_brands() was removed from the package due to persistent server
errors (HTTP status 500) returned by its underlying data source, which prevented the
function from reliably retrieving data and caused it to fail CRAN's requirement that
functions using Internet resources fail gracefully rather than error out.
get_country_info() was renamed to get_country_info_br() to avoid naming conflicts with other packages and improve function identification.The following APIs were added to the BrazilDataAPI package:
Nager.Date https://date.nager.at/Api.
World Bank API https://datahelpdesk.worldbank.org/knowledgebase/articles/889392
