ita_temperature_query_api: Load and cache daily temperature data from API

In njhenry/covidemr: Tools for Mapping COVID Excess Mortality

Description

Pull daily temperature data from the Meteostat API. This function uses cacheing: if the 'cache_file' already exists, it pulls the results from file rather than re-querying the API

  prov_latlong,
  cache_file,
  refresh_cache = FALSE
)

cache_file	File where the pulled data will be cached
refresh_cache	[optional, default FALSE] Should the data be re-pulled even if a cache file exists?

Value

Data.table containing full Meteostat daily API data as well as location code for all available years
