In blsR: Make Requests from the Bureau of Labor Statistics API

Retrieve multiple time series as in one API request as tibbles

Description

Retrieve multiple time series as in one API request as tibbles

Usage

get_series_tables(
  series_ids,
  api_key = bls_get_key(),
  start_year = NULL,
  end_year = NULL,
  year_limit = NULL,
  parse_values = TRUE,
  ...
)

Arguments

series_ids	a list or character vector of BLS time-series IDs. If the items are named then the names will be used in the returned list
api_key	Optional. An API key string. Defaults to the value returned by bls_get_key(). The preferred way to provide an API key is to use bls_set_key() or the BLS_API_KEY environment variable. Manually passing the key will be deprecated in future releases.
start_year, end_year	numeric 4-digit years. While optional, they are strongly recommended. If one is provided, the other is mandatory. end_year must be greater than start_year
year_limit	optional number of years to paginate request by. If not explicitly set, it will be set to 10 or 20 depending on if an api_key is available
parse_values	optional boolean. If set to TRUE (default) it will attempt to parse the contents of value and cast numeric strings as numeric values. If set to FALSE it will retain value as a column of strings.
...	Arguments passed on to get_n_series series_limit Maximum number of series to request in one API call when span is set to TRUE. span when set to TRUE, requests where the number of years between start_year and end_year exceed year_limit will be performed as multiple requests automatically

Value

a list of tibbles. Series requests which return observations will be a tibble. Series with no observations will be NA
