# eurostat R package 

R tools to access open data from [Eurostat](https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat). Data search, download, manipulation and visualization. 


### Installation and use

Install stable version from CRAN:

```{r, eval = FALSE}
install.packages("eurostat")
```

Alternatively, install development version from GitHub:

```{r, eval = FALSE}
# Install from GitHub
library(devtools)
devtools::install_github("ropengov/eurostat")
```

Development version can be also installed using the
[r-universe](https://ropengov.r-universe.dev):

```{r, eval=FALSE}
# Enable this universe
options(repos = c(
  ropengov = "https://ropengov.r-universe.dev",
  CRAN = "https://cloud.r-project.org"
))

install.packages("eurostat")
```

The package provides several different ways to get datasets from Eurostat. Searching for data is one way, if you know what to look for.

```{r example, eval = TRUE}
# Load the package
library(eurostat)

# Perform a simple search and print a table
passengers <- search_eurostat("passenger transport")
knitr::kable(head(passengers))
```


See the [Tutorial](https://ropengov.github.io/eurostat/articles/articles/eurostat_tutorial.html) and other resources at the [package homepage](https://ropengov.github.io/eurostat/) for more information and examples.

### Recommended packages

It is recommended to install the `giscoR` package (https://dieghernan.github.io/giscoR/). This is another API package that provides R tools for Eurostat geographic data to support geospatial analysis and visualization.
