Gets all DataCatalog records (DataCatalogs)
get_datacatalog(save_file = FALSE, ...)Logical. Choose whether or not to save the data in an
external .Rdata file in the working directory. Default: FALSE.
Other arguments that might define the path to data. All arguments accept a numeric code which is interpreted as the code of the specific product requested. Alternatively, you can supply the equivalent product name as a string which is case insensitive (see examples). Handle with care, this is important! For a list of all options available, see the parameters for each endpoint at https://popdiv.dfs.un.org/Demodata/swagger/ui/index#/
For an improved output, we combine DataCatalog data
with locations (get_locations),
dataprocess (get_dataprocess),
dataprocesstype (get_dataprocesstype) together with some
transformations (convert dates to date columns, renaming columns, etc...).
