textrar 0.9.0 (2026-08-28)
- Fixed
.Rbuildignore so that the tools/ directory is no longer shipped in
the source package.
- Enabled TLS certificate verification:
get_token() and post_request() no
longer set ssl_verifypeer = FALSE.
- The responses are now parsed with plain
$ extraction instead of the
`$`(_, "x") pipe placeholder. The behavior is unchanged, but the
package no longer needs R 4.2: DESCRIPTION declares R >= 3.6, which is
what 'httr' asks for. The unused LazyData field was removed.
gen_params() and get_token() now read the credentials from the
environment variables TEXTRA_API_KEY, TEXTRA_API_SECRET and
TEXTRA_NAME by default, so that keys need not be written in scripts.
Passing them explicitly still works. An unset variable now raises an
informative error instead of sending an empty credential.- Breaking: failures now raise an error instead of returning
NULL.
get_token() stops when 'TexTra' rejects the credentials, and
extract_result() stops when the API reports a failure. The API answers
with HTTP 200 even when it fails and reports the failure in
resultset$code, so the status code alone was never enough to detect it.
Code that tested the result with is.null() needs to use tryCatch().
post_request(), extract_result() and base_url() are deprecated. They
are low level building blocks that were never meant to be part of the
public interface. They still work, but warn, and will be removed in a
future release. Use textra() instead; if you rely on them to reach an
endpoint that textra() does not cover, please open an issue at
https://github.com/matutosi/textrar/issues.- Added a
testthat (edition 3) suite. Most tests run without touching the
network; the ones that call the API are skipped unless TEXTRA_TEST_LIVE
is set, so that they do not consume the API quota on every check.
- Documentation fixes:
textra() is a translation model, not a
transliteration one; name in gen_params() is the login ID; broken
examples in post_request() and extract_result() were corrected.
