get_map_data: Fetch map data to use with '{sf}'.

In dawaR: An API Wrapper for 'DAWA' - 'The Danish Address Web API'

Fetch map data to use with {sf}.

Description

This function returns map data from DAWA. It is ready to use with {sf} functions. The returned dataframe has date-time columns to inform when the information was last changed. It is returned in Europe/Copenhagen time as that is the local time for the API. You can change that behavior by setting Sys.setenv(TZ = "Your/Timezone").

Usage

get_map_data(type, cache = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

type	Defines the type of map data to request from DAWA. Run available_sections(format = "geojson") to see your options.
cache	Boolean to determine whether or not to cache the api call and the function output. Default is TRUE.
...	<dynamic-dots> input query parameters.

Value

Returns a data.frame object that contains polygons (or points) for the section provided.
