update_available_ipeds: Update local list of available data center files

In Sorenson-Impact/tidyipeds: What the Package Does (One Line, Title Case)

Description

\lifecycle

experimental This function is primarily internal. It is used to update (or download if it does not exist) a local index of the data files available from IPEDS data center (but not the data itself). If the local index is less than 1 month old, it does not update as scraping the data center is time consuming and new files are added only a few times a year. This behavior can be circumvented by using `force = TRUE`. If the local index is over 1 month old, it is updated automatically.

Usage

update_available_ipeds(force = FALSE)

Arguments

force

Logical indicating whether to force an update if local copy is less than 1 month old. Defaults to FALSE

Examples

## Not run: 
update_available_ipeds(force = TRUE)

## End(Not run)
