R Documentation

Read Local SDMX-CSV files

Description

Read compressed or uncompressed SDMX-CSV files

Usage

get_eurostat_local(
  file,
  time_format = "date",
  type = "code",
  lang = "en",
  select_time = NULL,
  stringsAsFactors = FALSE,
  keepFlags = FALSE,
  legacy.data.output = FALSE
)

Arguments

`file`	file path as string
`time_format`	a string giving a type of the conversion of the time column from the eurostat format. The default argument "`date`" converts to a `base::Date()` class with the date being the first day of the period. A "`date_last`" argument converts the dataset date to a `base::Date()` class object with the difference that the exact date is the last date of the period. Period can be year, semester (half year), quarter, month, or week (See `eurotime2date()` for more information). Argument "`num`" converts the date into a numeric (integer) meaning that the first day of the year 2000 is close to 2000.01 and the last day of the year is close to 2000.99 (see `eurotime2num()` for more information). Using the argument "`raw`" preserves the dates as they were in the original Eurostat data.
`type`	A type of variables, "`code`" (default), "`label`" or "`both`". The parameter "`both`" will return a data_frame with named vectors, labels as values and codes as names.
`lang`	2-letter language code, default is "`en`" (English), other options are "`fr`" (French) and "`de`" (German). Used for labeling datasets.
`select_time`	a character symbol for a time frequency or `NULL`, which is used by default as most datasets have just one time frequency. For datasets with multiple time frequencies, select one or more of the desired frequencies with: "Y" (or "A") = annual, "S" = semi-annual / semester, "Q" = quarterly, "M" = monthly, "W" = weekly. For all frequencies in same data frame `time_format = "raw"` should be used.
`stringsAsFactors`	if `TRUE` (the default) variables are converted to factors in the original Eurostat order. If `FALSE` they are returned as strings.
`keepFlags`	a logical whether the flags (e.g. "confidential", "provisional") should be kept in a separate column or if they can be removed. Default is `FALSE`. For flag values see information: https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/data/database#Flags. Also possible non-real zero "0n" is indicated in flags column. Flags are not available for eurostat API, so `keepFlags` can not be used with a `filters`.
`legacy.data.output`	Use legacy column names and data object structure. Default is FALSE. If TRUE, the object will try to emulate the naming conventions of eurostat package version 3.7.x and earlier.
