Description

Extract data from a data_list.

Usage

extract_data(data_list, encoding, guess_encoding, ...)

Arguments

data_list	A data_list similar to resp$result$items[[1]] that contains information on a dataset
encoding	The encoding passed to read (all) the files. Most cases should be resolved with either 'UTF-8', 'latin1' or 'ASCII'.
guess_encoding	A logical stating whether to guess the encoding. This is set to TRUE by default. Whenever guess_encoding is set to TRUE, the 'encoding' argument is ignored. If guess_encoding fails to guess the encoding, openes_load falls back to the encoding argument.
...	Arguments passed to read_csv and all other read_* functions.

Details

get_data will accept the end path of a data base and it will search for the access url. If the dataset is either a csv, xls, xlsx or xml, then it will attempt to read it. If it succeeds, it will return the data frame. If not, it will return the data frame with only one column containing all available access URL's.

For example, this URL: http://datos.gob.es/es/catalogo/a02002834-numero-de-centros-segun-ancho-de-banda-de-la-conexion-a-internet-que-tiene-el-centro6 says that it has a XML file but once you click on the 'download' XML, it redirects to a JavaScript based website that has the table. This file unfortunately is unreadable to the package.
