tidycenso

Overview

tidycenso is an R library for accessing the 2021 Spanish census API.

Installation

devtools::install_github("ropenspain/tidycenso")

Usage

tidycenso only has one function: get_censo. It admits 4 parameters:

1. table: A string of length 1 with the table name to query data from
2. variables: A string with variable names of the queried table. If more than one, must be provided using c() (max. 4)
3. metrics: A string with the units of measurement of the queried data. If more than one, must be provided concatenated using c()
4. language: The language used in the request body (the only valid values are ‘EN’ or ‘ES’)

The ids and descriptions of the available tables, variables and units of measurement (metrics) are accessible through internal data objects named tables, variables, and metrics.

Example

df <- get_censo("hog", c("ID_SUP_VIV", "ID_RESIDENCIA_N1"), "SHOGARES")
