Get actions from a Legistar site

Description

legis_get_actions() lists actions and legis_get_action() gets a single action by ID.

Usage

legis_get_actions(
  ...,
  client = getOption("legistarapi.client"),
  simplifyVector = TRUE,
  error_call = caller_env()
)

legis_get_action(
  id,
  ...,
  client = getOption("legistarapi.client"),
  simplifyVector = TRUE,
  error_call = caller_env()
)
legis_get_actions(
  ...,
  client = getOption("legistarapi.client"),
  simplifyVector = TRUE,
  error_call = caller_env()
)

legis_get_action(
  id,
  ...,
  client = getOption("legistarapi.client"),
  simplifyVector = TRUE,
  error_call = caller_env()
)

Arguments

`...`	Arguments passed on to `legistar` `top,skip,select,filter,orderby` Passed to internal `req_odata_query()` function. `direction` Default `NULL`. Use `"asc"` for ascending or `"desc"` for descending sort order based on `orderby` argument. Ignored if `orderby` is not supplied. `count,inlinecount` Currently unsupported. `n_max` Maximum number of records to return. Currently unsupported. `.multi` Controls what happens when an element of `...` is a vector containing multiple values: `"error"`, the default, throws an error. `"comma"`, separates values with a `⁠,⁠`, e.g. `⁠?x=1,2⁠`. `"pipe"`, separates values with a `\|`, e.g. `?x=1\|2`. `"explode"`, turns each element into its own parameter, e.g. `?x=1&x=2`. If none of these functions work, you can alternatively supply a function that takes a character vector and returns a string.
`client`	String with Legistar client name. Defaults to `getOption("legistarapi.client")`.
`simplifyVector`	Should JSON arrays containing only primitives (i.e. booleans, numbers, and strings) be caused to atomic vectors?
`error_call`	The execution environment of a currently running function, e.g. `caller_env()`. The function will be mentioned in error messages as the source of the error. See the `call` argument of `abort()` for more information.
`id`	Action ID. Required for `legis_get_action()`.

`direction`	Default `NULL`. Use `"asc"` for ascending or `"desc"` for descending sort order based on `orderby` argument. Ignored if `orderby` is not supplied.
`count`, `inlinecount`	Currently unsupported.
`.multi`	Controls what happens when an element of `...` is a vector containing multiple values: `"error"`, the default, throws an error. `"comma"`, separates values with a `⁠,⁠`, e.g. `⁠?x=1,2⁠`. `"pipe"`, separates values with a `\|`, e.g. `?x=1\|2`. `"explode"`, turns each element into its own parameter, e.g. `?x=1&x=2`. If none of these functions work, you can alternatively supply a function that takes a character vector and returns a string.
`simplifyVector`	Should JSON arrays containing only primitives (i.e. booleans, numbers, and strings) be caused to atomic vectors?
`n_max`	Maximum number of records to return. Currently unsupported.
`error_call`	The execution environment of a currently running function, e.g. `caller_env()`. The function will be mentioned in error messages as the source of the error. See the `call` argument of `abort()` for more information.
