Basic Usage
Accessing Data
The main function wp_data() provides access to the database. Here’s a simple example:
# Get GDP data for a specific country
data <- wp_data(
ISO = "USA",
formula = c("GDP_C", "CU_C/GDP_C*100"),
variable = c("GDP", "Current Account"),
years = c(2000, 2023)
)
#> [Step 1] Input Validation.
#> [Step 2] Data Filtering (ISO codes, Symbols, and Years).
#> [LOADING] Loading quarterly data (first use)
#> [Steps 3 to 7] Loop through each formula.
#> --- Step 3-4: Formula: GDP_C -- Symbols: GDP_C (Q)
#> --- Step 5: Adjust frequencies.
#> --- Step 6-7: Data Processing (Loop for each country).
#> ---
#> --- Step 3-4: Formula: CU_C/GDP_C*100 -- Symbols: CU_C (Q) GDP_C (Q)
#> --- Step 5: Adjust frequencies.
#> --- Step 6-7: Data Processing (Loop for each country).
#> ---
#> [Step 10] Clean database [remove NAs in output] - clean is TRUE.

The package includes built-in visualization functions:
# Create a basic time series plot
wp_plot_series(data,
y_axis = c("Billion USD", "% of GDP"),
right_axis = "Current Account",
title = "GDP and Current Account of the United States")
#> [COUNTRY] Column Country added to data
#> [CONFIG] n_countries = 1 | n_indicators = 2 | plot_type = series
#> [SUBPLOT] call 'in_plot_multi_indic_one_ctry_two_axes'
#> [ARGS] Unused arguments for function 'plot_func': subfig_title, bg, area, by_indicator, dimensions
#> Warning: Using `as.character()` on a quosure is deprecated as of rlang 0.3.0. Please use
