ipc_get_analyses {ripc}

Get analyses resources from the IPC API

Description

Accesses the areas resources on the IPC API. Contains detailed analysis information. If country, year and/or type parameters are passed, accesses the analyses simplified API endpoint and pulls in all analyses or filtered to those parameters. To get the details for a specific analysis available on the analyses/{id}/{period} advanced API endpoint, pass in id. You cannot pass in both sets of parameters.

Usage

ipc_get_analyses(
  country = NULL,
  year = NULL,
  type = NULL,
  id = NULL,
  api_key = NULL,
  tidy_df = TRUE
)

Arguments

When tidy_df is TRUE, the following changes are made to the initial output to ensure each row represents a single analysis:

1. The data is arranged by country, year, and created.

2. id column is renamed to be analysis_id.

Examples

# get all analyses details from the simplified API
ipc_get_analyses()

# get analysis details for a specific analysis ID
ipc_get_analyses(id = 12856213)
