Pulling Annual QCEW Information
jessefthomas opened this issue · 5 comments
Hi, first time poster so please forgive any ignorance :). I'm taking a class on R now.
BLS provides annual averages for the QCEW information. This vignette is helpful for what I'm trying to get at. But I've only been able to pull down qrtly information. BLS also has annual averages (https://www.bls.gov/cew/datatoc.htm), is there a way to pull those with this package as well? Thanks.
That was an oversight on my part. Luckily, it was a really easy fix. You'll have to reinstall the package from the Github for now. I'll try to get this pushed to CRAN next week. Glad you find it useful BTW!
The argument for annual is "A" instead of a numeric.
# Force reinstall
devtools::install_github("keberwein/blscarpeR", force=T)
library(blscrapeR)
dat <- qcew_api(year=2015, qtr="A", slice="industry", sliceCode=5112)
Amazing! Thanks for the quick response. I did get an error on the install, perhaps there is a new URL?

I would help if I learned how to spell my own package name correctly!
devtools::install_github("keberwein/blscrapeR", force=T)
Sorry, It's been a long week!
Thanks. This package is helping my organization not have have sift through literally 45,000 excel files to find the information they want.
LOL, the BLS data landscape is overwhelming. Thanks so much for pointing out the bug. Glad you find the package useful; that's why I wrote it! FYI: I'm closing this issue, but you can expect to see the changes in the next official CARN release, next week or so.
