wb_end_point_info: World Bank Information End Points

In wbstats: Programmatic Access to Data and Statistics from the World Bank API

World Bank Information End Points

Description

These functions are simple wrappers around the various useful API end points that are helpful for finding avaiable data and filtering the data you are interested in when using wb_data()

Usage

wb_countries(lang)
wb_topics(lang)
wb_sources(lang)
wb_regions(lang)
wb_income_levels(lang)
wb_lending_types(lang)
wb_languages()

Arguments

lang

Language in which to return the results. If lang is unspecified, english is the default. For supported languages see wb_languages(). Possible values of lang are in the iso2c column. A note of warning, not all data returns have support for langauges other than english. If the specific return does not support your requested language by default it will return NA.

Value

A data.table/data.frame of information about the end point. A data.table is used instead of a plain data.frame so that large tables (e.g. the ~28k rows returned by wb_indicators()) print truncated to a handful of rows instead of flooding the console.
