getTLD: Retrieve a current list of the top level domains

In jayjacobs/tldextract: Extract top level domain, domain, and subdomain from host name

Description

This function will reach out to https://publicsuffix.org/list/effective_tld_names.dat, retrieve the contents and create a simple vector of all the top level domains (removing comments and blanks lines from the file).

If there is no network connectivity, a cached version of the data ("tldnames") is included with this package and can be loaded with data("tldnames") after loading this package.

Usage

getTLD(url = "https://publicsuffix.org/list/effective_tld_names.dat")

Arguments

url	URL of the location for the tld name authority. Set to point to publicsuffix.org by default; while you can change this, much of getTLD's internal parsing may be specific to publicsuffix.org's format, and so other URLs may actively break or produce oddly formated results

Examples

## Not run: 
tldnames <- getTLD()

## End(Not run)
