In wbuchanan/legiscanR: R interface to the LegiScan API

Description Usage Arguments Note See Also Examples

Generic method for parsing data retrieved from getMasterList API call

Method for parsing LegiScan API calls to getMasterList

parseMasterList(rawMasterList, dataframe = FALSE, archive = TRUE,
  option = c(RECOVER, NOCDATA))


  ## S4 method for signature 'XMLDocumentContent,logical,logical,numeric'
parseMasterList(rawMasterList,
  dataframe = FALSE, archive = TRUE, option = c(RECOVER, NOCDATA))

## S4 method for signature 'character,logical,logical,missing'
parseMasterList(rawMasterList,
  dataframe = FALSE, archive = TRUE, option = NULL)

`rawMasterList`	An object with the returned data from the masterList method
`dataframe`	A logical defining the returned object data type (set to false for tbl_df object)
`archive`	A logical specifying if an archived file will be created. File will be saved as MasterListArchive followed by a timestamp in the current directory.
`option`	Additional arguments that can be supplied to the XML/RJSONIO parsers

Additional arguments should only be used when formatting errors cause a fatal error that you believe can be recovered without sacraficing your data. For example, an invalid unicode character may appear in a single location in the document, in the middle of the text string. In that case, you may wish to add: options = c(NOCDATA, NOERROR, RECOVER) to the internal call to the XML parser. By default option = c(RECOVER, NOCDATA) is specified
