In wbuchanan/legiscanR: R interface to the LegiScan API

Description Usage Arguments Note See Also Examples

Generic method for parsing data retrieved from getRollCall API call

Method for parsing LegiScan API calls to getRollCall

parseRollCall(theRollCall, dataframe = FALSE)

## S4 method for signature 'XMLDocumentContent,logical'
parseRollCall(theRollCall,
  dataframe = FALSE)

## S4 method for signature 'character,logical'
parseRollCall(theRollCall, dataframe = FALSE)

`theRollCall`	An object with the returned data from the rollCall method
`dataframe`	If TRUE method returns multiple data objects to the global environment; if FALSE the method returns a list of data frames

The getRollCall API call method returns a binary MIME object with any of several document format types. Amendments and rollCalls are not supported in all states.
