Imports data on Parliamentary Sessions. Note that due to the date format
used by the API, if days==TRUE and the end_date and
start_date parameters are not set to the default values, the
function downloads all available data and then subsets the tibble
between the two given dates.
sessions_info(
days = FALSE,
start_date = "1900-01-01",
end_date = Sys.Date(),
extra_args = NULL,
tidy = TRUE,
tidy_style = "snake",
verbose = TRUE
)
hansard_sessions_info(
days = FALSE,
start_date = "1900-01-01",
end_date = Sys.Date(),
extra_args = NULL,
tidy = TRUE,
tidy_style = "snake",
verbose = TRUE
)If TRUE, returns data for all available days. If
FALSE, returns data on each parliamentary session. If TRUE
and non-default start_date and/or end_date parameters are
requested, the function must retrieve all days and subset based on the
