View original documents from the Manifesto Corpus Database

Description

Original documents are opened in the system's browser window. All original documents are stored on the Manifesto Project Website and the URLs opened are all from this site.

Usage

mp_view_originals(ids, maxn = 5, apikey = NULL, cache = TRUE)

Arguments

ids

Information on which originals to view This can either be a list of partys (as ids) and dates of elections as given to mp_metadata or a ManifestoMetadata object (data.frame) as returned by mp_metadata. Alternatively, ids can be a logical expression specifying a subset of the Manifesto Project's main dataset. It will be evaluated within the data.frame returned by mp_maindataset such that all its variables and functions thereof can be used in the expression.

maxn

maximum number of documents to open simultaneously in browser, defaults to 5.

apikey

API key to use. Defaults to NULL, resulting in using the API key set via mp_setapikey.

cache
