early_day_motions: Imports data on early day motions, including the content, signatories, and sponsors of early day motions.

Description

Imports data on early day motions, including the content, signatories, and sponsors of early day motions.

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")
hansard_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 with the same ID code. If NULL, returns all available Early Day Motions. Note that there, are as of 2017-06-15, 43330 early day motions on listed in the API, so requesting all early day motions without other parameters is slow and very demanding on the API itself. Defaults to NULL.

session

Accepts a parliamentary session, in 'yyyy/yy' format. 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'.

Value

A tibble with details on the content, signatories and sponsors of all or a specified early day motions.
