Arguments

dates	A date value or vector in the format 'yyyy-mm-dd' (either of Date or character class), between 04/12/2018 and the present date, both inclusive.

start	A date value in the format 'yyyy-mm-dd' (either of Date or character class), between 04/12/2018 and the present date, both inclusive. The function will retrieve the conferences from that date, inclusive, until the end date, if specified, or until last available, otherwise. Must be set to NULL if dates or urls arguments are specified.

The function will retrieve the conferences until that date, inclusive, from the start date, if specified, or from '2020-12-04', otherwise.

             lubridate::ymd('2020-10-16'),
             by = 'day')
urls <- find_urls(dates)
conferences <- text_extraction(urls = urls)
conferences <- text_extraction(start = '2020-10-10')
conferences <- text_extraction(end = '2020-10-17')
