  language = "fr",
  base_url = "https://api.webstat.banque-france.fr/webstat-",
  client_ID
)

Arguments

language

Optional. String. Defaults to "fr" (French). The only other available option is "en" (English). Determines the language of the metadata. Your Webstat "App" must be subscribed to the API in this language or you'll get a 501 http error.

base_url

Optional. String. Defaults to "https://api.webstat.banque-france.fr/webstat-". For internal testing purposes only.

client_ID

Optional. String. If you do not specify it when calling the function, it will check if a global variable called ".GlobalEnv$webstat_client_ID exists and use it. If not, you will be prompted. The easiest way is to save the client ID as a string in ".GlobalEnv$webstat_client_ID".

Value

A data frame containing the dataset codes and datasets names

Identification

You should declare your Webstat client ID in a global "webstat_client_ID" variable. Alternatively, you can enter your client ID as a parameter or enter it when prompted.
