Add support for API features added in May 2024 #75

Closed dtburk closed 2 months ago

dtburk commented 2 months ago

These changes add support for new API features added in May 2024. Specifically, they add support for creating, submitting, checking status, and downloading extracts for IPUMS Time Use (ATUS, AHTUS, and MTUS) and IPUMS Health Surveys (NHIS and MEPS) data collections.

Along with the addition of support for these collections, these commits also change the functions that users should use to define extracts for microdata collections. Instead of using collection-specific functions like define_extract_usa(), users should now use define_extract_micro() for all microdata collections, passing the desired collection to the collection argument of that function. This simplifies the documentation for defining microdata extracts, because there is a large degree of overlap in the options across microdata collections.
