Early Day Motions by MP or Peer

Description

Imports data on early day motions signed, sponsored or primarily sponsored by a given MP or Peer.

Usage

mp_edms(mp_id = NULL, primary_sponsor = TRUE, sponsor = TRUE,
  signatory = TRUE, full_data = FALSE, start_date = "1900-01-01",
  end_date = Sys.Date(), extra_args = NULL, tidy = TRUE,
  tidy_style = "snake", verbose = TRUE)

hansard_mp_edms(mp_id = NULL, primary_sponsor = TRUE, sponsor = TRUE,
  signatory = TRUE, full_data = FALSE, start_date = "1900-01-01",
  end_date = Sys.Date(), extra_args = NULL, tidy = TRUE,
  tidy_style = "snake", verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

`mp_id`	The ID number of an MP or Peer. Required parameter, Defaults to `NULL`. Accepts single IDs in numerical or character format, or a list, data.frame column, etc. If given multiple IDs, the results are combined into a single tibble.
`primary_sponsor`	Includes all early day motions where the given member is the primary sponsor in the tibble. Defaults to `TRUE`.
`sponsor`	Includes all early day motions where the given member a sponsor (but not the primary sponsor) in the tibble. Defaults to `TRUE`.
`signatory`	Includes all early day motions signed (but not sponsored or primarily sponsored) by the given member in the tibble. Defaults to `TRUE`.
`full_data`	If `TRUE`, returns all available data on the EDMs signed or sponsored by a member. Defaults to `FALSE`. Note that this can be a very slow process compared to other `hansard` functions.
`start_date`	Only includes early day motions signed on or after this date. Accepts character values in `'YYYY-MM-DD'` format, and objects of class `Date`, `POSIXt`, `POSIXct`, `POSIXlt` or anything else that can be coerced to a date with `as.Date()`. Defaults to `'1900-01-01'`.
`end_date`	Only includes early day motions signed on or before this date. Accepts character values in `'YYYY-MM-DD'` format, and objects of class `Date`, `POSIXt`, `POSIXct`, `POSIXlt` or anything else that can be coerced to a date with `as.Date()`. Defaults to the current system date.
`extra_args`	Additional parameters and queries to pass to API. These queries must be strings and start with "&". See the API documentation or the package vignette for more details. Defaults to `NULL`.
`tidy`	Logical parameter. If `TRUE`, fixes the variable names in the tibble to remove special characters and superfluous text, and converts the variable names to a consistent style. Defaults to `TRUE`.
`tidy_style`	The style to convert variable names to, if `tidy = TRUE`. Accepts any style accepted by to_any_case. Defaults to `'snake'`.
`verbose`	If `TRUE`, displayes messages on the console on the progress of the API request. Defaults to `TRUE`.

Value

A tibble with information on the tibbles signed, sponsored and/or primarily sponsored by the given MP.
