povcalnet_cl Facilitate interaction with the PovcalNet API. All parameters are specified at the country level (hence the _cl suffix), so if you send a request for two countries, you must also pass two values to the `year` argument, two values to the `povline` argument, etc.

povcalnet_cl(
  country,
  povline,
  year,
  coverage = NULL,
  ppp = NULL,
  url = "http://iresearch.worldbank.org",
  format = "csv"
)

Arguments

country	character: list of country iso3 code (accepts multiple). Use `povcalnet_info` for full list of countries.
povline	numeric: poverty line (in 2011 PPP-adjusted USD) to calculate poverty measures
year	numeric: list of years, or `all`, or `last`.
coverage	character: Can take one of three values: `national`, `urban`, `rural`
ppp	numeric: Optional - Allows the selection of custom PPP (Purchasing Power Parity) exchange rates
url	character: API root URL. For testing purposes only, should not be changed for 99 percent of users.
format	character: Response format to be requested from the API: `csv` or `json`
