Arguments

country: character: A vector with one or more country ISO 3 codes or 'all'
year: integer: A vector with one or more years or 'all'
povline: numeric: Poverty line
popshare: numeric: Proportion of the population living below the poverty line
fill_gaps: logical: If TRUE, will interpolate / extrapolate values for missing years
subgroup: character: If used result will be aggregated for predefined sub-groups. Either 'wb_regions' or 'none'.
welfare_type: character: Welfare type either of c("all", "income", "consumption")
reporting_level: character: Geographical reporting level either of c("all", "national", "urban", "rural")
version: character: Data version. See get_versions()
ppp_version: ppp year to be used
release_version: date when the data was published in YYYYMMDD format
api_version: character: API version
format: character: Response format either of c("rds", "json", "csv")
simplify: logical: If TRUE (the default) the response is returned as a tibble
server: character: Server. For WB internal use only

Value

If simplify = FALSE, it returns a list of class "pip_api". If simplify = TRUE, it returns a tibble with the requested data. This is the default. Only for get_aux(), If assign_tb = TRUE or character, it returns TRUE when data was assign properly to .pip env. FALSE, if it was not assigned.

Examples

if (FALSE) {
# One country-year
res <- get_stats(country = "AGO", year = 2000)

# All years for a specific country
res <- get_stats(country = "AGO", year = "all")

# All countries and years
res <- get_stats(country = "all", year = "all")

# All countries and years w/ alternative poverty line
res <- get_stats(country = "all", year = "all", povline = 3.2)

# Fill gaps for years without available survey data
res <- get_stats(country = "all", year = "all", fill_gaps = TRUE)

# Proportion living below the poverty line
res <- get_stats(country = "all", year = "all", popshare = .4)

# World Bank global and regional aggregates
res <- get_stats("all", year = "all", subgroup = "wb")

# Short hand to get WB global/regional stats
res <- get_wb()

# Custom aggregates
res <- get_stats(c("ARG", "BRA"), year = "all", subgroup = "none")
}
