Description

API wrapper to download statistical information from the Korean Statistical Information Service (KOSIS) https://kosis.kr/openapi/index/index.jsp.

Details

To use this package, you will first need to get your API key from the website https://kosis.kr/openapi/index/index.jsp. Once you have your key, you can save it as an environment variable for the current session using the kosis.setKey function. Alternatively, you can set it permanently by adding the following line to your .Renviron file:

KOSIS_API_KEY = PASTE YOUR API KEY

Any functions that require your API key try to retrieve it via Sys.getenv("KOSIS_API_KEY") (unless API key is explicitly specified as a function argument).
