Function to search for meta information for a specific value.

Usage

gen_metadata_value(
  code = NULL,
  database = c("all", "genesis", "zensus", "regio"),
  area = c("all", "public", "user"),
  error.ignore = FALSE,
  verbose = TRUE,
  raw = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

code

A character string with a maximum length of 15 characters. Code from a GENESIS, Zensus 2022 or regionalstatistik.de object. Only one code per iteration.

database

Character string. Indicator if the GENESIS ('genesis'), Zensus 2022 ('zensus') or regionalstatistik.de ('regio') database is called. Default option is 'all'.

area

Character string. Indicator from which area of the database the results are called. In general, 'all' is the appropriate solution. Default option is 'all'. Not used for 'statistics'.

error.ignore

Boolean. Indicator if the function should stop if an error occurs or no object for the request is found or if it should produce a token as response. Default option is 'FALSE'.

verbose

Boolean. Indicator if the output of the function should include detailed messages and warnings. Default option is 'TRUE'. Set the parameter to 'FALSE' to suppress additional messages and warnings.

raw

Boolean. Should a non-parsed API response be returned? Default option is 'FALSE'.

...

Additional parameters for the API call. These parameters are only affecting the call itself, no further processing. For more details see vignette("additional_parameter").

Value

A list with all recalled elements from the API. Attributes are added to the data.frame describing the search configuration for the returned output.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# Find meta-information of the value with the code "LEDIG"
object <- gen_metadata_val(code = "LEDIG")
} # }
