Arguments

peer_id

Requests a member ID and returns a data frame with all written questions asked by that member.

The earliest date to include in the data frame, if calling all divisions, using the date the question was tabled. Defaults to '1900-01-01'.

end_date

The latest date to include in the data frame, if calling all divisions, using the date the question was tabled. Defaults to current system date.

extra_args

Additional parameters to pass to API. Defaults to NULL.

tidy

Fix the variable names in the data frame to remove extra characters, superfluous text and convert variable names to snake_case. Defaults to TRUE.
