In dataseries: Switzerland's Data Series in One Place

Description

ds downloads time series from www.dataseries.org. Data can be imported as a data.frame or an xts object.

Usage

Arguments

id	one ore more IDs, as given by www.dataseries.org.
class	class of the return value, either a "data.frame" (default) or an "xts" object (requires the xts package to be installed).

Details

Downloaded series are cached in memory as long as the R session is open. If you want to force an update, either restart the R session or run cache_rm to emtpy the cache. cache_ls is a utility function that lists all cached objects (see examples).

ds(c("CCI.AIK", "CCI.ASSS"))               # data.frame
ds(c("CCI.AIK", "CCI.ASSS"), "ts")         # "ts" object
ds(c("CCI.AIK", "CCI.ASSS"), "xts")        # "xts" object

# list cached objects
