imf_data: Fetch data from any IMF data flow

In readimf: Access International Monetary Fund Data via the 'SDMX' 3.0 API

Fetch data from any IMF data flow

Description

The general-purpose accessor behind the database-specific wrappers. Supply a data flow id and a key. Use imf_dimensions() to discover the dimension order and imf_codelist() to discover valid codes.

Usage

imf_data(
  dataflow,
  key = NULL,
  agency = NULL,
  version = "+",
  start = NULL,
  end = NULL
)

Arguments

dataflow	Data flow id, for example "WEO" or "CPI".
key	Either a ready-made key string (for example "GBR.NGDP_RPCH.A"), or a list of values per dimension in order (for example list(c("GBR", "USA"), "NGDP_RPCH", "A")), or NULL for all series. An empty element is a wildcard for that dimension.
agency	Owning agency. If NULL it is looked up from the catalogue.
version	Data flow version; "+" (the default) requests the latest.
start, end	Optional first and last year to keep.

Value

An object of class imf_tbl (a data frame).

Examples

imf_data("WEO", "GBR.NGDP_RPCH.A", start = 2015, end = 2024)
