getReserveAuctions: getReserveAuctions

In wagnertimo/rmarketcrawlR: Crawling operating reserve data (15min calls, auction prices, 4sec needs)

Description

This function is the production method of @seealso getOperatingReserveAuctions in the @seealso scrapeData.R script. It is without console prints for faster computation and several steps are combined. This main function retrieves the operating reserve auction results from https://www.regelleistung.net/ext/tender/. The data contains all auctions from a given start date till an end date. Be aware of the weekly data and take care of the latest week. CAUTION: IF YOUR START WEEK CONTAINS NO AUCTION RESULTS, THIS COULD LEAD TO AN ERROR! –> BUT NORMALLY THERE SHOULD BE NO START WEEK WITH ZERO ENTRIES! Variables in the returned data.frame: - power_price (numeric). The signed power price of the bid. Point as decimal delimiter. - work_price (numeric). The signed work price of the bid. Point as decimal delimiter. There are also negative prices. - offered_power_MW (numeric). The offered power in MW. Point as decimal delimiter. 5 as the minimal bid. This will be changed someday to smaller increments. - Tarif (char). Contains the value of either "HT", the main tarif or "NT", for the remaining time periods. - Direction (char). Contains the value of either "POS", for positive operating reserve power, or "NEG" for negative power. - date_from (Date). Date object in Y-m-d format. The two date variables build the one week auction time period. This will be changed someday. - date_to (Date). Date object in Y-m-d format. The two date variables build the one week auction time period. This will be changed someday.
