In congressbr: Downloads, Unpacks and Tidies Legislative Data from the Brazilian Federal Senate and Chamber of Deputies

Description

Downloads votes of a specific bill by providing type, number and year. A bill can have more than one roll call, and the API does not provide an id to identify them So we provide one (rollcall_id).

Usage

cham_votes(type, number, year, ascii = TRUE)

Arguments

type	character. The type of the bill. For example, "PL" for law proposal ("projeto de lei"), "PEC" for constitutional amendments ("projeto de emenda constitucional"), "PDC" for legislative decree ("decreto legislativo"), and "PLP" for supplementary laws ("projeto de lei complementar).
number	integer. The number of the bill.
year	integer. The year of the bill.
ascii	logical. If TRUE, certain strings are converted to ascii format.

Value

A tibble, of classes tbl_df, tbl and data.frame.

Note

Requesting data from a long period of time with details = TRUE will return a large object in terms of memory. It will also be rather unwieldy, with many columns.
