Source: R/retrieve.R

Retrieves Ministry of Health service location points (hospitals, clinics, and other health service facilities) from the LIO Open Data REST service (LIO_Open09/26), optionally filtered by service type.

Usage

retrieve_moh_service_locations(
  service_type = NULL,
  refresh = FALSE,
  max_age = NULL
)

Arguments

service_type

Character or NULL. If supplied, filters results to rows where SERVICE_TYPE equals this value. If NULL (the default), no filter is applied.

refresh

Logical. If TRUE, bypasses any cached copy and re-fetches from the live API. Defaults to FALSE.

max_age

Numeric or NULL. Maximum acceptable cache age in days; older entries are re-fetched. Defaults to NULL.

Value

An sf object of MOH service location points, with source_url, source_name, and retrieved_at attributes attached.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# Retrieves from the Ontario LIO REST service and caches the result.
hospitals <- retrieve_moh_service_locations(service_type = "Hospital")
} # }
