View source: R/fingertips_data.R
Outputs a data frame of data from Fingertips. Note, this function can take up to a few minutes to run (depending on internet connection speeds and parameter selection).

IndicatorID |
Numeric vector, id of the indicator of interest |
AreaCode |
Character vector, ONS area code of area of interest |
DomainID |
Numeric vector, id of domains of interest |
ProfileID |
Numeric vector, id of profiles of interest. Indicator polarity can vary between profiles therefore if using one of the comparison fields it is recommended to complete this field as well as IndicatorID. If IndicatorID is populated, ProfileID can be ignored or must be the same length as IndicatorID (but can contain NAs). |
AreaTypeID |
Numeric vector, the Fingertips ID for the area type. This argument accepts "All", which returns data for all available area types for the indicator(s), though this can take a long time to run |
ParentAreaTypeID |
Numeric vector, the comparator area type for the data extracted; if NULL the function will use the first record for the specified 'AreaTypeID' from the area_types() function |
categorytype |
TRUE or FALSE, determines whether the final table includes categorytype data where it exists. Default to FALSE |
rank |
TRUE or FALSE, the rank of the area compared to other areas for that combination of indicator, sex, age, categorytype and category along with the indicator's polarity. 1 is lowest NAs will be bottom and ties will return the average position. The total count of areas with a non-NA value are returned also in AreaValuesCount |
url_only |
TRUE or FALSE, return only the url of the api call as a character vector |
path |
String; Fingertips API address. Function will default to the correct address |
Note, polarity of an indicator is not automatically returned (eg, whether a low value is good, bad or neither). Use the rank field for this to be returned (though it adds a lot of time to the query)
