bricklayer_fetch_siu: Fetch an Ontario SIU director's report by drid

In rmoriebricklayer: Reproducible Data Capsules with Provenance and Fallback

Fetch an Ontario SIU director's report by drid

Description

Downloads the HTML of one Ontario Special Investigations Unit (SIU) director's report to dest, via bricklayer_fetch (live URL with a Wayback Machine fallback). This is the fetch step of the open SIU corpus pipeline: pair it with the SIU parser in rmorie (or the standalone siu C++ package) to rebuild the full director's-report corpus yourself, then audit it with the multi-agent panel.

Usage

bricklayer_fetch_siu(
  drid,
  dest,
  lang = c("en", "fr"),
  wayback = "",
  timeout = 120L
)

Arguments

drid	Director's-report id – the drid= query parameter (integer or integer-like scalar).
dest	Destination file path for the fetched HTML.
lang	"en" (default) or "fr".
wayback	Optional explicit Wayback snapshot URL (passed through to bricklayer_fetch); "" lets it discover one.
timeout	Request timeout in seconds. Default 120.

Value

"live" or "wayback" (invisibly), as bricklayer_fetch.

Examples

# Downloads from the live SIU web service; try() keeps the example
# graceful when the service (and its Wayback fallback) is unreachable.
# Fetch report drid 648 to a temp file.
dest <- tempfile(fileext = ".html")
try(bricklayer_fetch_siu(648, dest))
