bbk is minimal R client for the Bundesbank SDMX Web Service API.

bbk functions are prefixed with bb_
and follow the naming convention of the API. The usual workflow would be to search for the time series key on the Bundesbank website and then use it to retrieve the data with either bb_data()
or bb_series
depending on your needs. Despite querying different endpoints, both functions should return the same data. However, bb_data()
is more flexible and allows more customisation.
