Apologies for the slightly rough initial submission—it was a bit late yesterday evening when I opened the PR.
I briefly explored the package and managed to get the
pdfetch_ONS()example working.This implementation uses the Search API to retrieve the URI, which can then be used to fetch either the data or the CSV. I opted not to use the CSV directly, as it includes a header format that I didn't want to investigate further. Additionally, the API provides useful metadata such as update status, which might be helpful.
Just to clarify: I’m not a user of this package and don’t work with ONS data, so I don’t have a specific use case for this functionality. I've cleaned up the PR a bit, but I won’t be making further contributions in this area.
Closes #20 and #16
