fingertipsR: A package for extracting the data behind the Fingertips website (https://fingertips.phe.org.uk/)

The fingertipsR package provides two categories of important functions: lookup and data extract.

Lookup functions

The lookup functions are to provide users the ability to understand the ID inputs for the data extract functions.

Data extract functions

Using ID codes as inputs, the data extract functions allow the user to extract data from the Fingertips API.
