How-To

Step 1: Getting the country’s ISO code

A user needs to enter the ISO code of a country. To have access to this code, the following function provides this information.

oxforr_country() # A list of all countries will be produced

oxforr_country(country = "Canada") # The ISO code for Canada will be produced

oxforr_country("Canada") # The ISO code for Canada will be produced

Step 2: Getting the indicator’s code

A user needs to enter the code of the desired indicator. To do so, the following function provides access to all the indicators of interest.

oxforr_indicator() # A list of all indicators will be produced

oxforr_indicator(indicators = "public") # A list with all the variables including "public" will be produced

oxforr_indicator("public") # A list with all the variables including "public" will be produced

Step 3: Getting the data

Once the user knows all the arguments, s.he can collect the data in a very easy way through this function:

myData <-oxforr_data(country = "CAN",indicator = c("C1","C2")) 

myData <-oxforr_data(country = c("CAN","USA"),indicator = c("C1","C2"))
