Get scorecard data. — sc_get • rscorecard

This function gets the College Scorecard data by compiling and converting all the previous piped output into a single URL string that is used to get the data.

sc_get(
  sccall,
  api_key,
  debug = FALSE,
  print_key_debug = FALSE,
  return_json = FALSE
)

Arguments

sccall: Current list of parameters carried forward from prior functions in the chain (ignore)
api_key: Personal API key requested from https://api.data.gov/signup stored in a string. If you first set your key using sc_key, then you may omit this parameter. A key set here will take precedence over any set in the environment (DATAGOV_API_KEY).
debug: Set to true to print and return API call (URL string) rather than make actual request. Should only be used when debugging calls.
print_key_debug: Only used when debug == TRUE. Default masks the api_key value. Set to TRUE to print the full API call string with the api_key unmasked.
return_json: Return data in JSON format rather than as a tibble.
