Usage

aemet_stations(verbose = FALSE, return_sf = FALSE)

Arguments

verbose

A logical value. If TRUE, displays information about the exchange between the client and server.

return_sf

A logical value. If TRUE, the function returns an sf spatial object. If FALSE (the default), it returns a tibble. sf must be installed.

Value

A tibble or a sf object.

Note

Code adapted from the project at https://github.com/SevillaR/aemet.

Caching

The first result retrieved in each session is temporarily cached in tempdir() to avoid unnecessary requests.

API key

Queries to the AEMET OpenData API require an API key. Use aemet_api_key() to set it globally. Query timeout can be controlled with options(climaemet_timeout = 60) (default value). See httr2::req_timeout() for details.
