Search for IGOs

Searches for IGOs by name or regular expression.

Usage

igo_search(pattern = NULL, exact = FALSE)

Source

Codebook Version 3 IGO Data for the full reference.

Arguments

pattern: A regular expression used to match IGO names and identifiers. If NULL, all IGOs in igo_year_format3 are returned. Integer values are accepted.
exact: A logical value. If TRUE, pattern is anchored to require a complete match.

Value

A data.frame with IGO identifiers, names, dates and other metadata from the latest available year for each IGO.

Details

The information for each IGO is retrieved from the latest year available in igo_year_format3.

The label column provides a cleaned version of longorgname.
