"last" gives the most recent year available for classifications. Before July 1, the most recent classification available will be 2 years prior to today. After July 1, the most recent classification available will be 1 year prior to today.
group	Select income group by specifying names of income groups "High income", "Upper middle income", "Lower middle income" and "Low income". For example, to get all countries in the "High income" category, type group = "High income". If you'd like multiple income groups, type all income groups in c() function. Defaults to "all". "all" will give classification for all countries across all income groups.
