ChileDataAPI: Access Chilean Data via APIs and Curated Datasets

Provides functions to access data from public RESTful APIs including 'FINDIC API', 'REST Countries API', 'World Bank API', and 'Nager.Date', retrieving real-time or historical data related to Chile such as financial indicators, holidays, international demographic and geopolitical indicators, and more. Additionally, the package includes curated datasets related to Chile, covering topics such as human rights violations during the Pinochet regime, electoral data, census samples, health surveys, seismic events, territorial codes, and environmental measurements. The package supports research and analysis focused on Chile by integrating open APIs with high-quality datasets from multiple domains. For more information on the APIs, see: 'FINDIC' <https://findic.cl/>, 'REST Countries' <https://restcountries.com/>, 'World Bank API' <https://datahelpdesk.worldbank.org/knowledgebase/articles/889392>, and 'Nager.Date' <https://date.nager.at/Api>.
