  date = Sys.Date(),
  tidy = TRUE,
  tidy_style = "snake_case"
)

Arguments

house	The house of parliament. Accepts either 'Lords' or 'Commons'. This parameter is not case sensitive, so both 'lords' and 'Lords' return the same result. Defaults to 'Commons'.

tidy	If TRUE, fixes the variable names in the tibble to remove non-alphanumeric characters and superfluous text, and convert to a consistent style. Defaults to TRUE.
tidy_style	The style to convert variable names to, if tidy=TRUE. Accepts one of "snake_case", "camelCase" and "period.case". Defaults to "snake_case".
