Real-time and Archives of Taiwan Legislative Data in R

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. Also, consider writing a batch retrieval process with appropriate handlers to track the progress of file input, ensuring the completeness of the requested data.


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. ##
