indicator_metadata: Indicator metadata
In fingertipsR: Fingertips Data for Public Health

Description Usage Arguments Value See Also Examples

Outputs a data frame containing the metadata for selected indicators. Note, this function can take up to a few minutes to run (depending on internet connection speeds)

1	indicator_metadata(IndicatorID = NULL, DomainID = NULL, ProfileID = NULL, path)

`IndicatorID`	Numeric vector, id of the indicator of interest. Also accepts "All".
`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).
`path`	String; Fingertips API address. Function will default to the correct address

The metadata associated with each indicator/domain/profile identified

indicators for indicator lookups, profiles for profile lookups, deprivation_decile for deprivation lookups, area_types for area types and their parent mappings, category_types for category lookups, indicator_areatypes for indicators by area types lookups, indicators_unique for unique indicatorids and their names, nearest_neighbours for a vector of nearest neighbours for an area and indicator_order for the order indicators are presented on the Fingertips website within a Domain

Other lookup functions: area_types(), category_types(), deprivation_decile(), indicator_areatypes(), indicator_order(), indicators_unique(), indicators(), nearest_neighbours(), profiles()
