R packages - Nov 2017 - New package: data360r to access trade and governance open data

Hi everyone,

We've recently launched data360r, now available on CRAN at
https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/data360r/index.html

This package makes it easy to engage with the APIs of the TCdata360 and
Govdata360 open data platforms at https://tcdata360.worldbank.org/ and
https://govdata360.worldbank.org/, respectively. These APIs provide access to
over 5000 trade, competitiveness, and governance indicator data, metadata, and
related information from over 80 sources both inside and outside the World Bank
Group. Package functions include easier download of data sets, metadata, and
related information, as well as searching based on user-inputted query.

Additional information can be seen at:

If you have any questions, feedback, or suggestions, I'd be more than happy
to hear these. Feel free to send me an email at monglao at ifc.org.
