Usage

early_day_motions(edm_id = NULL, session = NULL,
  start_date = "1900-01-01", end_date = Sys.Date(), signatures = 1,
  extra_args = NULL, tidy = TRUE, tidy_style = "snake_case")

Arguments

edm_id

Accepts the ID number of an early day motion, and returns data on that motion. Note that EDM numbers reset each parliamentary session, so using this as the only parameter will return multiple early day motions. Defaults to NULL.

start_date

The earliest date to include in the tibble. Defaults to '1900-01-01'. Accepts character values in 'YYYY-MM-DD' format, and objects of class Date, POSIXt, POSIXct, POSIXlt or anything else than can be coerced to a date with as.Date().

end_date

The latest date to include in the tibble. Defaults to current system date. Defaults to '1900-01-01'. Accepts character values in 'YYYY-MM-DD' format, and objects of class Date, POSIXt, POSIXct, POSIXlt or anything else than can be coerced to a date with as.Date().

signatures

The minimum number of signatures required for inclusion in the tibble. Defaults to 1.

extra_args

Additional parameters to pass to API. Defaults to NULL.

tidy

Fix the variable names in the tibble to remove special characters and superfluous text, and converts the variable names to a consistent style. Defaults to TRUE.

tidy_style

The style to convert variable names to, if tidy = TRUE. Accepts one of 'snake_case', 'camelCase' and 'period.case'. Defaults to 'snake_case'.
