legcoplus: Improving Hong Kong Legislative Council Data

An R package to facilitate the use of the Hong Kong Legislative Council’s data.

Under active development.

To install this package, run:

#install.packages("devtools")
#devtools::install_github("elgarteo/legco")
devtools::install_github("elgarteo/legcoplus")

What it does

This R package is designed to work with the package elgarteo/legco, which retrieves data from the LegCo APIs.

While it is great that LegCo provides APIs to allow open data access, it is not perfect. For exmaple, the presence of seperate APIs for different type of data means searching the data you need can be frustrating.

This package solves just that by providing functions and tools that patch these deficiencies.
