legisTaiwan: An Interface to Access Taiwan Legislative API in R 台灣立法院國會系統 API

Real-time and Archives of Taiwan Legislative Data in R

legisTaiwan is designed to download the real-time archives of Taiwan legislative data easily. This package includes many streamlined functions to access Taiwan Legislative Yuan API in R without any hassle or runarounds.

Get Started with Using remotes:

install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("davidycliao/legisTaiwan", force = TRUE)

library(legisTaiwan)
#> ## legisTaiwan                                            ##
#> ## An R package connecting to the Taiwan Legislative API. ##

Caution:

legisTaiwan requires a stable internet connection to retrieve data from the API. While most functions can fetch data spanning a long period, they tend to be bandwidth-intensive due to the size of the datasets. If you plan to download data over an extended period, I recommend using get_variable_info() first to verify the current file sizes on the API manual. Also, consider writing a batch retrieval process with appropriate handlers to track the progress of file input, ensuring the completeness of the requested data.
