List available aggregate indicators

Source: R/indicators.R
knbs_indicators.Rd

[Experimental]

Lists the indicators served by every verified indicator source: the 2019 Population and Housing Census tables (CC BY 4.0), the monthly consumer price series from the KNBS CPI Explorer, the KNBS Data Portal's SDMX dataflows, the datasets republished by Kenya Open Data for Africa, and the Kenya Demographic and Health Survey and Malaria Indicator Survey indicators published by the DHS Program. The source_id column says which source serves each row.

Usage

knbs_indicators(
  topic = NULL,
  search = NULL,
  source = NULL,
  cache = knbs_option("cache"),
  refresh = FALSE
)

Arguments

topic

Keep only these topics, for example "Population" or "prices".

Free text matched against indicator names.

source

Source id. Defaults to every verified source that lists indicators.

cache

Whether to use the local cache.

refresh

Whether to bypass any cached response.

Value

A knbs_catalogue tibble with columns indicator_id, indicator_name, topic, frequency, unit and source_id.

Details

frequency and unit are filled only where the source states them: the CPI series are monthly, in index points or percent; a census table is not a recurring series, so its frequency and unit are NA rather than invented.

If one source cannot be reached, its rows are missing and a warning says so; the error comes only when no source answers.
