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 producedA 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 producedOnce 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"))
