Writes or updates the sensor data in the data folder.
It retrieves the data for the specified sensor between start_date
and end_date (inclusive) using the retrieve_sensor function,
and then converts certain columns to character strings before writing the data
to a RData file in the data folder (if create_directory = TRUE),
to a temporary folder otherwise.
Usage
write_update_data(segment_name, start_date, end_date, create_directory = FALSE)
Arguments
- segment_name
Character. Name of the segment, as specified in config.
- start_date
Date. Start date "aaaa-mm-jj"
- end_date
Date. End date "aaaa-mm-jj"
- create_directory
Boolean: Does the file need to be created in the project directory? Default to FALSE.
Value
Boolean: TRUE if the data is well saved/written, FALSE otherwise (no data for example)
Examples
if (FALSE) # This function requires a valid API key
period <- as.Date(c('2022-01-01', '2022-12-31'))
write_update_data('RteVitre-06', period[1], period[2])
