Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) See Also Examples

rdb_providers downloads the list of providers from DBnomics.

rdb_providers(
  code = FALSE,
  use_readLines = getOption("rdbnomics.use_readLines"),
  curl_config = getOption("rdbnomics.curl_config")
)

`code`	Logical (default `FALSE`). If `TRUE`, then only the providers are returned in a vector.
`use_readLines`	Logical (default `FALSE`). If `TRUE`, then the data are requested and read with the base function `readLines` i.e. through the default R internet connection. This can be used to get round the error `Could not resolve host: api.db.nomics.world`.
`curl_config`	Named list (default `NULL`). If not `NULL`, it is used to configure a proxy connection. This configuration is passed to the function `curl_fetch_memory` of the package curl. A temporary `curl_handle` object is created internally with arguments equal to the provided list in `curl_config`. For `curl_fetch_memory` arguments see `curl_fetch`. For available curl options see `curl_options`, `names(curl_options())` and libcurl.

By default, the function returns a data.table containing the list of providers from DBnomics with additional informations such as the region, the website, etc.

A data.table or a vector.
