Arguments

id	(NULL | character()) Project ID(s) to query, e.g. "P163868" or c("P163868", "P180429"). Default NULL. If provided, other filters are ignored.
country	(NULL | character()) Two-character World Bank country code(s) to filter by, e.g. "BR" or c("BR", "IN"). Regional aggregates such as "1W" (World) or "3A" (Africa) are also accepted. Matching is case insensitive, and projects for any of the given codes are returned. Default NULL.

region	(NULL | character()) Region name(s) to filter by, e.g. "South Asia". Matching is case insensitive and by substring, so "Africa" also matches "Eastern and Southern Africa" and "Middle East and North Africa". Projects matching any of the given names are returned. Default NULL.

start_date	(NULL | character(1)) Board approval start date in "YYYY-MM-DD" format. Default NULL.
