  startyear = "",
  endyear = "",
  ...,
  genesis_db = "de",
  save = TRUE
)

Arguments

tablename	name of the table to retrieve.
startyear	only retrieve values for years equal or larger to startyear. Default: "".

...	further parameters supplied as URL parameter in the GENESIS database call
genesis_db	name of the database (default: 'de').
save	write string to a text file (default: TRUE)

Details

Downloads the csv file either to the working directory getwd() or outputs it as a string. This is an alternative approach to the retrieve_*() functions. This is designed for https://www-genesis.destatis.de/genesis/online as it does not require a login. It might not work as expected for the other databases.
