The Latamverse
is a metapackage that
brings together a comprehensive collection of R packages providing
access to APIs functions and curated datasets from
Argentina, Brazil,
Chile, Colombia, and
Peru. It integrates both real-time and historical data
retrieved through public RESTful APIs, such as Nager.Date,
World Bank API, and REST Countries API, while also
offering extensive curated collections of open datasets covering
economics, demographics, public health, environmental data, political
indicators, social metrics, and cultural information.
The Latamverse
package installs and attaches five core
subpackages. The first is ArgentinAPI, which provides
APIs functions and curated datasets for Argentina,
including resources on exchange rates, inflation, political figures, and
national holidays. The second is BrazilDataAPI, which
offers APIs functions and curated datasets for Brazil,
with data on postal codes, banks, economic indicators, holidays, and
company registrations. The third is ChileDataAPI,
focused on Chile, covering financial indicators such as
UF, UTM, Dollar, Euro, Yen, Copper, Bitcoin, the IPSA index, and
national holidays. The fourth is ColombiAPI, which
provides APIs functions and curated datasets for
Colombia, featuring geographic locations, cultural
attractions, economic indicators, demographic data, and national
holidays. Finally, PeruAPIs offers APIs functions and
curated datasets for Peru, covering economic
indicators, demographics, national holidays, administrative divisions,
electoral data, and biodiversity.
To install the Latamverse
package, use the
following:
Once the package is loaded, you can call the
Latamverse()
function to display the list of included
packages and their versions:
Latamverse
imports and depends on several subpackages.
Therefore, you cannot detach an individual subpackage (like PeruAPIs)
while Latamverse is still loaded.
To properly unload a subpackage, you must first detach
Latamverse
:
# First detach the metapackage
detach("package:Latamverse", unload = TRUE)
# Now you can safely detach the subpackage
detach("package:PeruAPIs", unload = TRUE)
By installing the Latamverse
package this will attach
the following packages to your R session:
ArgentinAPI
BrazilDataAPI
ChileDataAPI
ColombiAPI

The Latamverse represents a unified entry point for accessing and analyzing data from five major Latin American countries: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Peru. By combining real-time API connections with curated datasets, it simplifies the process of discovering, retrieving, and integrating diverse sources of information across key domains such as economics, demographics, public health, environment, politics, and culture.
This metapackage not only reduces the technical barriers associated with collecting data from multiple platforms but also promotes reproducible research, comparative regional studies, and data-driven teaching practices. Its modular structure, built upon country-specific packages, ensures flexibility and scalability, allowing users to focus on generating insights and advancing knowledge rather than on data wrangling.
Ultimately, the Latamverse provides researchers, educators, policymakers, and data scientists with a comprehensive ecosystem that enhances the study and understanding of Latin America, fostering collaboration and innovation within the global R community.
