download_data-deprecated: Gets all data from a cbs table.

In edwindj/cbsodataR: Statistics Netherlands (CBS) Open Data API Client

Gets all data from a cbs table.

Description

This method is deprecated in favor of cbs_download_data().

Usage

download_data(
  id,
  path = file.path(id, "data.csv"),
  ...,
  select = NULL,
  typed = FALSE,
  verbose = TRUE,
  base_url = getOption("cbsodataR.base_url", BASE_URL)
)

Arguments

id	of cbs open data table
path	of data file, defaults to "id/data.csv"
...	optional filter statements to select rows of the data,
select	optional names of columns to be returned.
typed	Should the data automatically be converted into integer and numeric?
verbose	show the underlying downloading of the data
base_url	optionally specify a different server. Useful for third party data services implementing the same protocol. See details.

Specify different server

Besides the official CBS data, there are also third party and preview dataservices implementing the same protocol. The base_url parameter allows to specify a different server. The base_url can either be specified explicitly or set globally with with options(cbsodataR.base_url = "http://example.com"). Some further tweaking may be necessary for third party services, a download url is constructed using: either with:

• ⁠<base_url>/<BULK>/<id>/...⁠ for data

• ⁠<base_url>/<API>/<id>/?$format=json⁠ for metadata

Default values for BASEURL, BULK and API are set in the package options, but can be changed with:

options(
 cbsodataR.base_url = "https://opendata.cbs.nl",
 cbsodataR.BULK = "ODataFeed/odata",
 cbsodataR.API = "ODataAPI/odata"
)

which are the default values set in the package.
