Browse the metadata related to a series.
Description
Opens up a web browser with the metadata related to the requested series.
Usage
browse_metadata(dataset, ...)
Arguments
| dataset | A string specifying the code of the series. | 
| ... | Additional parameters passed to browseURL. | 
Value
Opens a web page in the default web browser.
Examples
## Not run: browse_metadata("DUR_D")
Get the data structure of a dataset.
Description
Returns a list of data frames containing names and descriptions of the variables of a specified series.
Usage
get_data_structure(dataset)
Arguments
| dataset | A string containing the code for a dataset | 
Value
A list of data frames.
Examples
## Not run: get_data_structure("DUR_D")
Download OECD data sets.
Description
Returns a data frame with the requested data, downloaded through the OECD's API.
Usage
get_dataset(
  dataset,
  filter = NULL,
  start_time = NULL,
  end_time = NULL,
  pre_formatted = FALSE,
  ...
)
Arguments
| dataset | A string with the code for the desired data set | 
| filter | A list of character vectors specifying filters to be applied to 
each dimension of the dataset (see  | 
| start_time | Starting time for data. If left blank, no time filter is 
applied (i.e. all observations since the earliest available observation are 
downloaded). If end_time is specified, a  | 
| end_time | End time for data. | 
| pre_formatted | boolean. Set to TRUE if filter to be applied is already formatted (e.g. if copied from the OECD's SDMX generator (see example below)). | 
| ... | Additional parameters passed to  | 
Value
A data frame
Examples
# Get entire dataset 
## Not run: df <- get_dataset("EPL_OV")
## Not run: head(df, 10)
# Apply filter on dimensions "country" and "series"
## Not run: df <- get_dataset("EPL_OV", 
                           filter = list(c("DEU", "FRA"), 
                           c("EPRC_V1", "EPRC_V2")), 
                           start_time = 2008, end_time = 2010)
## End(Not run)
## Not run: head(df, 10)
# Use pre-formatted filter copied from stats.oecd.org
## Not run: df <- get_dataset("PATS_REGION", 
               filter = "PCT_A.INVENTORS.BEL+BE10+BE21.TOTAL+BIOTECH+ICT",
