Usage

  all = FALSE,
  use_readLines = getOption("rdbnomics.use_readLines"),
  curl_config = getOption("rdbnomics.curl_config")
)

Arguments

all	Logical (default FALSE). If TRUE, then the full dataset of the last updates is retrieved.
use_readLines	Logical (default FALSE). If TRUE, then the data are requested and read with the base function readLines i.e. through the default R internet connection. This can be used to get round the error Could not resolve host: api.db.nomics.world.

A temporary curl_handle object is created internally with arguments equal to the provided list in curl_config. For curl_fetch_memory arguments see curl_fetch. For available curl options see curl_options, names(curl_options()) and libcurl.
