Source: R/get_mp_pic.R
get_mp_pic.Rd

A function for retrieving Norwegian MP pictures by id.

Usage

get_mp_pic(mpid = NA, size = "middels", 
           destfile = NA, show_plot = FALSE, 
           good_manners = 0)

Arguments

mpid

Character string, or a vector of strings, indicating the id of the MP to retrieve.

size

Character string size of the picture. Accepts values "lite" (small), "middels" (medium – default), and "stort" (big).

destfile

Character string specifying where to save the picture. With several ids, one destfile per id.

show_plot

Logical. FALSE (default) if no plot should be produced and TRUE if plot should be produced. Requires the "magick" package.

good_manners

Numeric. Seconds delay between calls when making multiple calls to the same function. Note that the Stortinget API is limited to 100 calls per minute (see https://data.stortinget.no/nyhetsoversikt/begrensning-pa-api-kall/).

Value

No return value; called for its side effects (saves the picture to destfile and/or plots it).
