Infer data version from dates

Description

Infer data version from dates

Usage

spod_infer_data_v_from_dates(dates, ignore_missing_dates = FALSE)

Arguments

dates

A character or Date vector of dates to process. Kindly keep in mind that v1 and v2 data follow different data collection methodologies and may not be directly comparable. Therefore, do not try to request data from both versions for the same date range. If you need to compare data from both versions, please refer to the respective codebooks and methodology documents. The v1 data covers the period from 2020-02-14 to 2021-05-09, and the v2 data covers the period from 2022-01-01 to the present until further notice. The true dates range is checked against the available data for each version on every function run.

The possible values can be any of the following:

For the spod_get() and spod_convert() functions, the dates can be set to "cached_v1" or "cached_v2" to request data from cached (already previously downloaded) v1 (2020-2021) or v2 (2022 onwards) data. In this case, the function will identify and use all data files that have been downloaded and cached locally, (e.g. using an explicit run of spod_download(), or any data requests made using the spod_get() or spod_convert() functions).
A single date in ISO (YYYY-MM-DD) or YYYYMMDD format. character or Date object.
A vector of dates in ISO (YYYY-MM-DD) or YYYYMMDD format. character or Date object. Can be any non-consecutive sequence of dates.
A date range
- eigher a character or Date object of length 2 with clearly named elements start and end in ISO (YYYY-MM-DD) or YYYYMMDD format. E.g. c(start = "2020-02-15", end = "2020-02-17");
- or a character object of the form YYYY-MM-DD_YYYY-MM-DD or YYYYMMDD_YYYYMMDD. For example, ⁠2020-02-15_2020-02-17⁠ or ⁠20200215_20200217⁠.
A regular expression to match dates in the format YYYYMMDD. character object. For example, ⁠^202002⁠ will match all dates in February 2020.
