This function fetches the catalogue of monitoring stations from DEFRA's website.
Usage
ukair_catalogue(
site_name = "",
pollutant = 9999,
group_id = 9999,
closed = "true",
country_id = 9999,
region_id = 9999,
location_type = 9999
)Arguments
- site_name
This is the name of a specific site. By default this is left blank to get info on all the available sites.
- pollutant
This is a number from 1 to 10. Default is 9999, which means all the pollutants.
- group_id
This is the identification number of a group of stations. Default is 9999 which means all available networks.
- closed
This is "true" to include closed stations, "false" otherwise.
- country_id
This is the identification number of the country, it can be a number from 1 to 6. Default is 9999, which means all the countries.
- region_id
This is the identification number of the region. 1 = Aberdeen City, etc. (for the full list see https://uk-air.defra.gov.uk/). Default is 9999, which means all the local authorities.
- location_type
This is the identification number of the location type. Default is 9999, which means all the location types.
