BANEScarparkinglite: like BANEScarparking, but smaller!

This is a stripped-down version of the BANEScarparking package. It contains functions for obtaining and working with the BANES car parking records from the Bath: Hacked API, as well as some functions for getting other related datasets via web-scraping.

Feel free to contribute anything you think might be useful!

Package contents

• get_all_crude (and get_range_crude) for retrieving the full dataset (or a subset) of records from Bath: Hacked datastore
• refine for processing the raw records
• refuel and refuel_crude for updating existing data frames with recent records
• get_rugby, get_events (and get_events_detail) and get_daily_weather for obtaining information through web-scraping.

The full BANEScarparking package contains all of these functions, along with parking, events, rugby and weather data up to the end of 2017 (stored as R datasets).

Installation

You can install the package from CRAN:

install.packages("BANEScarparkinglite")

(Or if you want to keep up to date with the latest changes, you can install the development version with

devtools::install_github("owenjonesuob/BANEScarparkinglite")

You'll need the devtools package to do this - you can install it with install.packages("devtools").)

Then you can load the package with

library(BANEScarparkinglite)

and you'll be good to go!
