get_party_info: Extract party information from Wikipedia

In partycoloR: Extract Party Colors and Logos from Wikipedia

Extract party information from Wikipedia

Description

Extracts both the party color(s) and logo URL from a political party's English Wikipedia page in a single call.

Usage

get_party_info(url, all_colors = FALSE)

Arguments

url	A character vector of Wikipedia URLs for political party pages.
all_colors	Logical. If 'FALSE' (default), returns only the primary color in the 'color' column. If 'TRUE', adds an 'all_colors' list-column.

Details

This function combines [get_party_color()] and [get_party_logo()] into a single call, which is more efficient when you need both pieces of information as it only fetches each Wikipedia page once.

Value

A tibble with columns: 'url', 'color' (primary color as hex), 'logo_url', and optionally 'all_colors' (list of all colors).

Examples

if (curl::has_internet()) {
  # Get info for multiple parties
  urls <- c(
    "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_Party_(United_States)",
    "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republican_Party_(United_States)",
    "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Democratic_Party_of_Germany"
  )
  get_party_info(urls)

  # Include all colors
  get_party_info(urls, all_colors = TRUE)
}
