Working with OpenAlex Snapshots — Moved to openalexSnapshot

Source: vignettes/snapshot.qmd

Snapshot functionality has moved.

The full OpenAlex snapshot workflow — downloading, converting .json.gz files to Parquet, building ID lookup indexes, and extracting records by ID — is now part of the openalexSnapshot package.

Please install openalexSnapshot and refer to its documentation.

# Install openalexSnapshot (once available on r-universe):
pak::pak("openalexSnapshot")

Calling snapshot_to_parquet(), build_corpus_index(), or lookup_by_id() in openalexPro raises an informative error pointing to openalexSnapshot.
