Possible to add 1-year estimates for all possible years?

Open ethantenison opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

I'm trying to get get data from as far back as possible, but the package only goes back to 2012 for 1-year estimates.

If it's not possible, is there a particular reason? For example, was the data from before 2012 not high quality?

Thank you so much!

I don't recall now, but suspect the earlier 1-year estimates were not available through the API at the time I originally coded this.

I do not have the capacity to add earlier years to the package at this time. However, you may be able to use the package as-is for downloading the data, by experimenting with the function arguments. The only thing that would definitely be missing is some of the documentation support provided by the package.
