Retrieve Sotkanet Data

Source: R/get_sotkanet.R
get_sotkanet.Rd

Retrieve selected data and combine into a single table.

Usage

get_sotkanet(
  indicators = NULL,
  years = NULL,
  genders = c("male", "female", "total"),
  regions = NULL,
  region.category = NULL,
  lang = "fi",
  user.agent = NULL,
  cache = TRUE,
  cache_dir = NULL,
  frictionless = FALSE
)

Arguments

indicators

Dataset identifier(s)

years

vector of years, for example `2015:2018` or `c(2010, 2012, ...)`. Default value is `NULL`, which gives the data from all the available years. You can give indicators their own year range by giving the years in a list. See examples for demonstration.

genders

vector of genders ('male' | 'female' | 'total'). Some datasets do not work with only the gender value 'total' and return an empty data.frame. In these situations it is advised to check out some other alternative.

regions

filter by selected regions only (default: all regions). The region filter has to be given in the language used for the language variable.

region.category

filter by one or more of the following 15 valid regions categories (default: all categories)

  • "ALUEHALLINTOVIRASTO"

  • "ELY-KESKUS"

  • "ERVA"

  • "EURALUEET" (Eurozone)

  • "EUROOPPA" (Europe)

  • "HYVINVOINTIALUE" (welfare country)

  • "KUNTA" (municipality)

  • "MAA" (country)

  • "MAAKUNTA" (region)

  • "NUTS1"

  • "POHJOISMAAT" (Nordic countries)

  • "SAIRAANHOITOPIIRI (hospital district)

  • "SEUTUKUNTA"

  • "SUURALUE"

  • "YTA"

lang

Language of the data variables: indicator.title, region.title and indicator.organization.title. Default is Finnish ("fi"), the other options being English ("en") and Swedish ("sv").

user.agent

"User agent" defined by the user. Default is NULL which will then use the package identifier "rOpenGov/sotkanet"

cache

a logical whether to do caching. Defaults is `TRUE`.

cache_dir

a path to cache directory. `Null` (default) uses and creates "sotkanet" directory in the temporary directory defined by base R [tempdir()] function. The user can set the cache directory to an existing directory with this argument.

frictionless

a logical whether to return a datapackage, with metadata inside, instead of a data.frame.

Value

Returns a data.frame when frictionless is `FALSE` and a datapackage when frictionless is `TRUE`.
