Retrieve data from Eurostat API in JSON format.
get_eurostat_json(
id,
filters = NULL,
type = c("code", "label", "both"),
lang = c("en", "fr", "de"),
stringsAsFactors = FALSE,
...
)
A code name for the dataset of interested. See the table of contents of eurostat datasets for more details.
A named list of filters. Names of list objects are Eurostat
variable codes and values are vectors of observation codes. If NULL
(default) the whole dataset is returned. See details for more on filters
and limitations per query.
A type of variables, "code" (default), "label" or "both". The "both" will return a data_frame with named vectors, labels as values and codes as names.
A language used for metadata (en/fr/de).
if TRUE
(the default) variables are converted
to factors in original Eurostat order. If FALSE
they are returned as
a character.
Arguments passed on to httr::GET
url
the url of the page to retrieve
config
Additional configuration settings such as http
authentication (authenticate()
), additional headers
(add_headers()
), cookies (set_cookies()
) etc.
See config()
for full details and list of helpers.
handle
The handle to use with this request. If not
supplied, will be retrieved and reused from the handle_pool()
based on the scheme, hostname and port of the url. By default httr
requests to the same scheme/host/port combo. This substantially reduces
connection time, and ensures that cookies are maintained over multiple
requests to the same host. See handle_pool()
for more
details.
A dataset as a data_frame.
Data to retrieve from
The Eurostat Web Services can be specified with filters. Normally, it is
better to use JSON query through get_eurostat()
, than to use
get_eurostat_json()
directly.
Queries are limited to 50 sub-indicators at a time. A time can be
filtered with fixed "time" filter or with "sinceTimePeriod" and
"lastTimePeriod" filters. A sinceTimePeriod = 2000
returns
observations from 2000 to a last available. A lastTimePeriod = 10
returns a 10 last observations.
To use a proxy to connect, a httr::use_proxy()
can be
passed to httr::GET()
. For example
get_eurostat_json(id, filters, config = httr::use_proxy(url, port, username, password))
.
