Get URL of dataset

Useful for workflows where you want to keep track of URLs and intermediate files, rather than having all steps performed by one function.

sp_get_dataset_url(dataset_id, year, month = 12, check_if_exists = TRUE)

Arguments

dataset_id

Dataset ID. See id column in sp_datasets for a list of available codelists.

year

year, numeric vector of length <= 1 (can take multiple values), 2015-2019 for some datasets, 2010-2020 for others. (see Details for how to work with data across time periods.)

month

month, numeric vector of length <= 1 (can take multiple values). Must be between 1 and 12. Defaults to 12. (see Details for how to work with data across time periods.)

check_if_exists

Whether to check that the URL works (HTTP 200).

Value

a character vector of length one, containing a URL

if(FALSE) sp_get_dataset_url("finm_wrong", 2018, 6, TRUE) # fails, invalid dataset ID
if(FALSE) sp_get_dataset_url("finm", 2022, 6, TRUE) # fails, invalid time period
