ds_meta: Metadata for one dataset

Description

Returns the full metadata for a single dataset: its dimensions, the codes (levels) available within each dimension, labels, source, license and date range. Use this to discover which dimension codes to pass to ds().

Usage

ds_meta(dataset)

Value

A named list (the parsed metadata). Notable elements are dim_order

(the dataset's dimensions) and dimensions (each dimension's levels, keyed by code, with a label).

Arguments

dataset

a single dataset id, as listed by ds_catalog().

Examples

if (FALSE) {
m <- ds_meta("ch_seco_gdp")
m$dim_order                       # "type", "structure", "seas_adj"
names(m$dimensions$type$levels)   # the codes you can pass as type = ...
}
