Read Swiss time series data from the KOF Datenservice API. The API provides macroeconomic survey data, business cycle and further macro economic time series about Switzerland. The package itself is a set of wrappers around API. The kofdata package is able to consume public information as well as data that needs an API token.
For further information on the data, the API and the KOF Swiss Economic Institute please consult the corresponding links.
Fire up R and run install.packages or use the GUI, if you got one.
install.packages("kofdata")
The easiest way to install the very latest version that might not have completed all checks (but contains the latest, hottest, most awesome, most exploratory, adventurous features) is to run:
devtools::install_github("KOF-ch/kofdata")Note to those of you who do not use R regularly: in order to install directly from github make sure the devtools package is installed.
