bysykkel 0.3.1

General

• The Oslo Winter Bike service has been shut down. Hence, the interface to this service has been removed from fread_trips_data(), read_trips_data(), and dl_trips_data().

• Updated object documentation where the URL to the Oslo Winter Bike service has been removed.

• Automated testing has been added that will hopefully detect if there are any breaking changes to the services which the bysykkel functions rely on.

• fread_trips_data(), read_trips_data(), and dl_trips_data() should output a more informative error message if the user provides an invalid city name.

bysykkel 0.2.3

General

• Oslo City Bike updated their open data pages, including the URLs to access the API service and to download historical bike trip data, which broke all dl_trips_data() and get_api_data() that would interact with these pages. These functions have been repaired.

• Added package dependency to lubridate.

• Removed package dependency to magrittr.

• Added bysykkel_control_* functions to improve error handling, and error messages, so that it is (hopefully) more clear to the user what caused an error.

• Updated the object documentation for all functions.

• Updated README.md

Minor Changes

• Removed magrittr as a dependency since the package is not used.

Minor changes

fread_trips_data()

• The function can now read historical bike trip data from Oslo City Bike.
• Moved the data.table package from “Imports” to “Suggests” such that it will not automatically be installed with the bysykkel package.
  • As a consequence of this, fread_trips_data() will check if data.table is installed before running. If it is not installed, the user will receive a stop message.

read_trips_data()

• The function can now read historical bike trip data from Oslo City Bike.

dl_trips_data()

• For legacy data from Oslo City Bike, the function will now retrieve the CSV-file in the ZIP-file. In other words, to the user, the function downloads the CSV-file of interest, and not the ZIP-file.

get_api_data()

• The function is repaired so that it can read realtime data from Oslo City Bike’s API service.
• The function can now retrieve system information with data = "system".

Bug fixes

fread_trips_data()

• Repaired the function so that it correctly uses the URL to read CSV-file that contains requested trip records data.

read_trips_data()

• Fixed the function so that it properly reads special Norwegian characters that appear in the bike data.
