如何从 R 中的 url 读取 csv 文件？

Question

I'm rather new to R and I could use your assistance.

I am currently trying to import a csv file from an URL. I have found many examples. Unfortunately, none of them work for my problem.

Specifically, I wanted to import the file from this url: https://www.bfs.admin.ch/bfsstatic/dam/assets/15324797/master

I tried these few lines of code:

temp <- tempfile()

download.file("https://www.bfs.admin.ch/bfsstatic/dam/assets/15324797/master",temp, mode =  "w")

data<- read_csv2("je-b-03.03.02.05.csv")

and also this:

data <- read_csv2(url("https://www.bfs.admin.ch/bfsstatic/dam/assets/15324797/master"))

But that didn't work either. On the other hand, when I paste the url into my browser, the file is downloaded automatically.

I would appreciate any help. Thanks

Answer 1

df <- read.csv2(file = url("https://www.bfs.admin.ch/bfsstatic/dam/assets/15324797/master"))

Answer 2

Maybe this helps to begin with:

data <- read.csv(url("https://www.bfs.admin.ch/bfsstatic/dam/assets/15324797/master"))

Check ?read.csv for details.

Answer 3

I've found vroom to be the best option for this type of task:

install.packages("vroom")
library(vroom)
data <- vroom("https://www.bfs.admin.ch/bfsstatic/dam/assets/15324797/master")

Answer 4

loc.url <- "https://www.bfs.admin.ch/bfsstatic/dam/assets/15324797/master"

data <- read.csv2(loc.url)
