Usage

1
fetch_mps(from_date = NA, to_date = NA, on_date = NA)

Arguments

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 NA, 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 NA, 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 NA, 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 the MPs returned based on the dates of their Commons memberships. 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.

The filtering is inclusive: an MP is returned if any part of one of their Commons memberships falls within the period specified with the from and to dates.

Value

A tibble of key details for each MP, with one row per MP.
