oec (version 2.7.8)

getdata_batch: Convenient wrapper for getdata

Description

Returns a tibble containing imports, exports and relevant metrics (e.g. exports growth w/r to last year) for a range of years as the result of different API calls and data transforming. The API returns data for different trade classifications: (i) SITC (1962-2016); (ii) HS92 (1992-2016); (iii) HS96 (1996-2016); (iv) HS02 (2002-2016); (v) HS07 (2007-2016).

Usage

getdata_batch(origin, destination, initial_year, final_year, classification, by)

Arguments

origin

ISO code for country of origin (e.g. chl for Chile). Run country_codes in case of doubt.

destination

ISO code for country of destination (e.g. chn for China). Run country_codes in case of doubt.

initial_year

Numeric value greater or equal to 1962 and lower of equal to 2016. This needs to be lower or equal to final_year.

final_year

Numeric value greater or equal to 1962 and lower of equal to 2016. This needs to be greater or equal to initial_year.

Any of the available trade classifications in the OEC (sitc, hs92, hs96, hs02 or hs07). Default set to sitc.

by
