Title
flempar : an R-package for analyzing data from the Flemish Parliament
Author
Abstract
This note introduces flempar, an R-package designed to streamline data acquisition from the Flemish Parliament’s open data API. flempar provides an interface that allows for easy extraction and linking of data, ranging from details of parliamentary proceedings to legislators’ bibliographies. The package aims to reduce the complexity of navigating the numerous API endpoints and the unnesting of the data objects, allowing users to focus on actually working with the data. Implemented in R, the package offers broad applicability for scholars, journalists, and data scientists interested in Flemish parliamentary activities. We provide a comprehensive guide to the package’s installation, scope, and data extraction workflow.
