EIA directory

Obtain EIA directory listing.

Usage

eia_dir(dir = NULL, tidy = TRUE, cache = TRUE, key = eia_get_key())

Arguments

dir

character, directory path, if NULL then the API root directory.

tidy

logical, return a tidier result. See details.

cache

logical, cache result for duration of R session using memoization. See details.

key

API key: character if set explicitly; not needed if key is set globally. See eia_set_key().

Value

data frame, list, or character; see details.

Details

By default, additional processing is done to return a list containing tibble data frames. Set tidy = FALSE to return only the initial list result of jsonlite::fromJSON(). Set tidy = NA to return the original JSON as a character string.

Set to cache = FALSE to force a new API call for updated data. Using FALSE always makes a new API call and returns the result from the server. TRUE uses memoization on a per R session basis, caching the result of the function call in memory for the duration of the R session. You can reset the entire cache by calling eia_clear_cache().

Examples

if (FALSE) {
# use eia_set_key() to store API key
eia_dir()
eia_dir("electricity")
eia_dir("electricity/rto")
}
