logo logo

R-CMD-check Codecov test coverage CircleCI build status Lifecycle: experimental

The goal of geoidep📦 is to offers R users an easy and accessible way to obtain official cartographic data on various topics, such as society🏛️, transport🚗, environment🌱, agriculture🌾, climate⛅️,among others.This includes information provided by regional government entities and technical-scientific institutions, managed by the Spatial Data Infrastructure of Peru.

⚠️ The package accesses these datasets dynamically from official public servers, without redistributing data locally.

The package is currently available in R and Python (coming soon).

Installation R

You can install the development version of geoidep like so:

install.packages('pak')
pak::pkg_install('ambarja/geoidep')

or also the official version available on CRAN:

install.packages('geoidep')

Example 01: Introduction

library(geoidep)
── Welcome to geoidep ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
ℹ geoidep is a wrapper that enables you to download cartographic data for Peru directly from R.

• Geobosque
• INAIGEM
• INEI
• Midagri
• and more!
ℹ For more information, please use the `get_data_sources()` function.

In this example, we can identify the list of providers available in geoidep and the layers they present.

Example 02: Download official INEI administrative boundaries

This is a simple example of how to download Peru’s official administrative boundaries:

dep <- get_departaments(show_progress = FALSE)

The first 10 rows of the original data are displayed here:

#> Geometry type: MULTIPOLYGON
#> Dimension:     XY
#> Bounding box:  xmin: -79.45857 ymin: -17.28501 xmax: -70.80408 ymax: -2.986125
