Arguments

year

Character string or number. Release year. It must use format YYYY (assuming end of year) or YYYY-MM-DD. Historical information starts as of 2005.

epsg

Character string or number. Projection of the map: 4-digit EPSG code. One of:

cache

Logical. Whether to cache downloaded files. Defaults to TRUE. See Caching.

update_cache

Logical. If TRUE, refreshes the cached file and forces a new download. Defaults to FALSE.

cache_dir

Character string. A path to a cache directory. See Caching.

verbose

A logical value. If TRUE displays informational messages.

country

Character vector of country codes. It can be a vector of country names, ISO3 country codes or ISO2 country codes. See also countrycode::countrycode().

Caching

Functions that download data store files in cache_dir. When cache_dir is NULL, they use the active package cache, which defaults to a temporary directory. Set update_cache = TRUE to replace an existing cached file. See Caching strategies in esp_set_cache_dir() to configure a persistent cache.
