prevedere_indicator {prevederer}

Indicators

Description

Access indicator data and metadata.

Usage

prevedere_indicator(key, provider, provider_id)

prevedere_indicator_series(key, provider, provider_id,
  freq = prevedere_frequencies(key),
  calculation = prevedere_calculations(key), start_date = NULL,
  end_date = NULL, offset_periods = 0, raw = FALSE)

Arguments

key

A Prevedere API key.

provider

Code for a data provider, can be hexadecimal or abbreviated name.

provider_id

Specific ProviderID for the indicator.

freq

Frequency of indicator to retrieve. For a list of supported frequencies, see prevedere_frequencies().

calculation

Calculation to transform the indicator. For a list of supported calculations, see prevedere_calculations().

start_date, end_date

Start and end dates for the indicator. Each should be either a date or a character string capable of being coerced to a date. Setting a date to NULL will result in the historical data being unbounded in that direction.

offset_periods

Number of periods to offset.

raw

Logical value indicating if data should be returned in its raw form (typically nested lists) or formatted as appropriate, usually a dataframe.

Value

A list. prevedere_indicator returns metadata for the target indicator, while prevedere_indicator_series returns the actual data for the indicator (in addition to the metadata).
