Examples

## Not run: 
# Set login information here. See ?sqp_login
sqp_login()

# 1 is the study ESS round 1
find_questions("ESS round 1", "tvtot")

# If that doesn't fit, then use get_questions and search for the question
# manually through filtering:

all_questions <- get_questions("ESS round 1")
cnt_filt <- all_questions$country_iso == "ES"
lang_filt <- all_questions$language_iso == "spa"
var_filt <- grepl("TvTot", all_questions$short_name)

# The desired "TvTot" variable from Spain, in Spanish
all_questions[cnt_filt & lang_filt & var_filt, ]

# Can also search for several variables in one call

find_questions("ESS round 1", c("tvpol", "tvtot"))

# Or use regular expressions. For example, to find all variables
# that begin with tv

find_questions(1, "^tv")

## End(Not run)
