fetch_commons_divisions_members: Fetch key details for an MP's divisions voting record

In houseofcommonslibrary/clvotes: An R package for downloading data from the Commons and Lords Votes API

Description

fetch_commons_divisions_members fetches data from the Commons Votes API showing key details about the voting record for an MP for each division, with one row per division. Only whether an MP voted "Aye" in a division is returned.

Usage

fetch_commons_divisions_members(
  member_mnis_id = NULL,
  from_date = NULL,
  to_date = NULL,
  on_date = NULL
)

Arguments

member_mnis_id	An integer or vector of integers representing a member mnis ID.
from_date	A string or Date representing a date. If a string is used it should specify the date in ISO 8601 date format e.g. '2000-12-31'. The default value is NULL, which means no records are excluded on the basis of the from_date.
to_date	A string or Date representing a date. If a string is used it should specify the date in ISO 8601 date format e.g. '2000-12-31'. The default value is NULL, which means no records are excluded on the basis of the to_date.
on_date	A string or Date representing a date. If a string is used it should specify the date in ISO 8601 date format e.g. '2000-12-31'. The default value is NULL, which means no records are excluded on the basis of the on_date.

Details

The from_date and to_date arguments can be used to filter divisions based on the dates they occurred. The on_date argument is a convenience that sets the from_date and to_date to the same given date. The on_date has priority: if the on_date is set, the from_date and to_date are ignored.

Value

A tibble of key details for an MP's voting record, with one row per division.
