AEMET beaches

Description

Get AEMET beaches.

Usage

aemet_beaches(verbose = FALSE, return_sf = FALSE)

Arguments

verbose	Logical. If TRUE, provides information about the flow of information between the client and server.
return_sf	Logical. If TRUE, the function returns an sf spatial object. If FALSE (the default value), it returns a tibble. The sf package must be installed.

Details

The first result of the API call in each session is temporarily cached in tempdir() to avoid unnecessary API calls.

Value

A tibble or a sf object.

API key

You need to set your API key globally using aemet_api_key(). Query timeout can be controlled with options(climaemet_timeout = 60) (default value). See httr2::req_timeout() for details.
