pd_read() stops with a clear error when ‘arrow’ was
built without zstd, which the site’s Parquet files use, and its example
is skipped there.pd_rows() and
pd_aggregate() type each column as its field says, so dates
come back as Date and booleans as logical, and every answer
labels its columns with the fields’ descriptions.pd_fields() lists a dataset’s fields with their types,
descriptions, ranges and values.pd_join_boundaries() attaches the ABS boundary of the
area each row names by its code, and pd_boundaries() and
pd_boundary_layers() read the layers.pd_catalogue() searches every dataset on the government
portals, served or not.pd_provenance() gives a version’s source file, checksum
and fetch time.pd_url() gives a file’s address and
pd_latest() the newest version.pd_browse() opens a dataset’s page.pd_read() takes columns to read only some
fields.publicdataau_error, and
publicdataau_unreachable when the site cannot be
reached.CITATION file.pd_tbl() returns a table or view of a version’s DuckDB
file as a lazy ‘dplyr’ table, so dplyr verbs run as SQL against the file
over HTTPS.pd_sf() reads a dataset’s map layer as an ‘sf’
object.pd_read(), pd_download(),
pd_connect(), pd_tbl() and
pd_sf() take cache to keep a version’s file in
pd_cache_dir() and reuse it; nothing is kept unless asked.
pd_cache_list() and pd_cache_clear() manage
it.pd_changes() lists what each release changed and
pd_diff() reads one comparison in full.pd_cite() gives a version’s citation as a
bibentry, for text or BibTeX.pd_datasets() takes publisher,
topic and jurisdiction.options(publicdataau.quiet = TRUE) turns
it off.pd_connect() carries the file’s attribution and
citation, so pd_attribution() works on a connection, and
keeps ‘DuckDB’‘s extensions out of the home directory on ’duckdb’
releases before 1.5.5 too.pd_download() takes the "geo.parquet"
format.pd_connect() attaches a version’s DuckDB file read-only
over HTTPS and returns a ‘DBI’ connection, so a query runs against the
version without a download.pd_tables() and pd_schema() list the
tables of a database such as G-NAF with their fields, keys and
references.pd_read() and pd_download() take
table to read one table of a database as Parquet.pd_download() takes the new "duckdb"
format.pd_available() says whether publicdata.au can be
reached, and every function now stops with a message naming the site
when it cannot.pd_datasets(),
pd_versions(), pd_dataset(),
pd_rows(), pd_aggregate(),
pd_download(), pd_read() and the filter
helpers.These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
