Calls statcan_data() and also writes the returned table to a CSV file.
Existing calls with only tableNumber and lang remain supported; path
can be used to select a different output directory.
Usage
statcan_download_data(tableNumber, lang, path = ".")
Arguments
- tableNumber
A Statistics Canada table number or Product ID. Both
"27-10-0014-01" and "27100014" are accepted.
- lang
Language of the downloaded table: "eng" or "fra".
- path
Directory in which to save the CSV file. The directory must
already exist. Defaults to the current working directory.
Value
The downloaded table. The CSV path is available in the
statcan_file attribute of the returned data frame.
Examples
if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
science <- statcan_download_data("27-10-0014-01", "eng")
science <- statcan_download_data(
"27-10-0014-01", "eng", path = tempdir()
)
attr(science, "statcan_file")
} # }
