Usage

download_ao(use_cache = FALSE, file = NULL)

Arguments

use_cache

logical option to save and load from cache. If `TRUE`, results will be cached in memory if `file` is `NULL` or on disk if `file` is not `NULL`.

file

optional character with the full path of a file to save the data. If `cache` is `FALSE` but `file` is not `NULL`, the results will be downloaded from the internet and saved on disk.

Value

  • Date: Date object that uses the first of the month as a placeholder. Date formatted as date on the first of the month because R only supports one partial of date time

  • Year: Year of record
