Thanks and question about the future #6

Thank you for putting the time into building this package and sharing it with us. The public_candles function has been especially useful to me these last 6 months.

Do we expect that the CRAN package will no longer work as of January 1, 2019, due to Coinbase deprecation of the GDAX API endpoints?

If so, is it a simple URL change in the code to the new Coinbase Pro API endpoint or is the fix more involved?

Thanks again!

@angelaponte that will indeed be the case in a couple of days. the CRAN version is deprecated and will stop working.

I am in the process of releasing the new version on CRAN, however my testing has run into some issues (i lost my authenticator codes due to a change in phone). I am working with Coinbase to restore my accounts. This could take some time but rest assured that the work is in progress.

In the meanwhile, the dev branch is now up to date with all necessary changes. You should be able to install it directly from github using the instructions in the README.md file. Since I haven't been able to test it completely, i will encourage some user testing and feedback too.

Thanks for the tip; I updated the package using the dev branch and the two functions I've been using, public_candles() and public_time() are both working. That was a smooth transition for me.

I'll be calling both functions automatically and manually for the foreseeable future.
