Hello, thanks for building such a transformative package. I have a small feature request that would make a big workflow difference. Would it be possible to include an option for...
Some of the documentation might be easier to navigate in a Frequently Asked Questions section. Possible topics: - [x] Troubleshooting and getting help [existing](https://www.hrecht.com/censusapi/articles/getting-started.html#troubleshooting) - all of this could be...
Functionality added in [v0.8.0](https://www.hrecht.com/censusapi/news/index.html#censusapi-080) could be more explicitly documented, maybe in the getting started vignette. Or - split metadata function walkthrough into its own vignette?

Several years ago, when there were FAR less Census Bureau API endpoints, I added some optional parameters to `getCensus()` that were convenience options for some of the economic data endpoints....
I think the documentation would be far improved with articles that dive in to using specific key datasets. The example list is not always super helpful. Datasets I'd prioritize for...
Upgrade internal code from using httr to the new and modern [httr2](https://httr2.r-lib.org/). This will require almost entirely rewriting most of the function code but it's a necessary and valuable upgrade...
[getCensus()](https://www.hrecht.com/censusapi/reference/getCensus.html) becomes get_census(), [listCensusApis()](https://www.hrecht.com/censusapi/reference/listCensusApis.html) becomes list_apis(). Old function names will continue to be available for a long period of time (a year?) so that old user code does not break....
