House of Commons divisions

Imports data on House of Commons divisions (votes), either full details on how each member voted, or a summary of vote totals.

commons_divisions(division_id = NULL, division_uin = NULL,
  summary = FALSE, start_date = "1900-01-01", end_date = Sys.Date(),
  extra_args = NULL, tidy = TRUE, tidy_style = "snake",
  verbose = TRUE)

hansard_commons_divisions(division_id = NULL, division_uin = NULL,
  summary = FALSE, start_date = "1900-01-01", end_date = Sys.Date(),
  extra_args = NULL, tidy = TRUE, tidy_style = "snake",
  verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

division_id	The id of a particular vote. If empty, returns a tibble with information on all commons divisions, subject to all other parameters. Defaults to `NULL`. Only accepts a single division ID at a time, but to return details on a list of division IDs use with `lapply`. The `division_id` takes priority over the `division_uid` parameter.
division_uin	The UIN of a particular vote. If empty, returns a tibble with information on all commons divisions, subject to all other parameters. Defaults to `NULL`. Only accepts a single division UIN at a time, but to return details on a list of division UINs use with `lapply`.
summary	If `TRUE`, returns a small tibble summarising a division outcome. Otherwise returns a tibble with details on how each MP voted. Has no effect if `division_id` is empty. Defaults to `FALSE`.
start_date	Only includes divisions on or after this date. Accepts character values in `'YYYY-MM-DD'` format, and objects of class `Date`, `POSIXt`, `POSIXct`, `POSIXlt` or anything else that can be coerced to a date with `as.Date()`. Defaults to `'1900-01-01'`.
end_date	Only includes divisions on or before this date. Accepts character values in `'YYYY-MM-DD'` format, and objects of class `Date`, `POSIXt`, `POSIXct`, `POSIXlt` or anything else that can be coerced to a date with `as.Date()`. Defaults to the current system date.
extra_args	Additional parameters and queries to pass to API. These queries must be strings and start with "&". See the API documentation or the package vignette for more details. Defaults to `NULL`.
tidy	Logical parameter. If `TRUE`, fixes the variable names in the tibble to remove special characters and superfluous text, and converts the variable names to a consistent style. Defaults to `TRUE`.
tidy_style	The style to convert variable names to, if `tidy = TRUE`. Accepts any style accepted by to_any_case. Defaults to `'snake'`.
verbose	If `TRUE`, displayes messages on the console on the progress of the API request. Defaults to `TRUE`.
