ChinAPIs: Access Chinese Data via Public APIs and Curated Datasets
Provides functions to access data from public RESTful APIs including 'Nager.Date'
and 'World Bank API', retrieving real-time or historical data related to China, such
as holidays and economic indicators. Additionally, the package includes one of the
largest curated collections of open datasets focused on China and Hong Kong, covering
topics such as air quality, demographics, input-output tables, epidemiology, political
structure, names, and social indicators. The package supports reproducible research
and teaching by integrating reliable international APIs and structured datasets from
public, academic, and government sources.
For more information on the APIs, see:

'World Bank API' <https://datahelpdesk.worldbank.org/knowledgebase/articles/889392>.
