get_reports: Get the day-to-day reports

In canadacovid: API Wrapper for the Canadian COVID-19 Tracker

Get the day-to-day reports

Description

Runs a GET request of reports data from the COVID-19 tracker API, and returns parsed data. Via the split argument, data may be "overall" (all provinces/territories combined), or by "province". Alternatively, provide one or more two-letter codes (e.g. "AB") to province to return reports for specific provinces, or one or more numeric region codes (e.g. "1204") to return specific health regions.

Usage

get_reports(
  split = c("overall", "province"),
  province = NULL,
  region = NULL,
  fill_dates = NULL,
  stat = NULL,
  date = NULL,
  after = NULL,
  before = NULL
)

Arguments

split	One of "overall", or "province" to specify how the data is split. An "overall" report gives cumulative numbers across Canada. Splitting by "province" returns all reports for all provinces/territories.
province	One or more province/territory codes ("AB", "BC", "MB", "NB", "NL", "NS", "NT", "NU", "ON", "PE", "QC", "SK", "YT") to get reports. Upper, lower and mixed case strings are accepted.
region	One or more health region IDs to get reports. Numeric and character values are accepted.
fill_dates	When TRUE, the response fills in any missing dates with blank entries.
stat	Returns only the specified statistics, e.g. "cases".
date	Returns reports from only the specified date, in YYYY-MM-DD format.
after	Returns reports from only on or after the specified date, in YYYY-MM-DD format.
before	Returns reports from only on or before the specified date, in YYYY-MM-DD format.

Value

A data frame containing the reports data, one row per day. Includes a province variable if data is split by province, and a hr_uid variable if data is split by health region.

Examples

get_reports()
get_reports(province = c("AB", "SK"))
get_reports(region = 1204)
get_reports(region = c("472", 1204), stat = "cases")
