why only two years' records were found?

[crazyhottommy]

Hi, First thanks for this package. I installed from github.

weather <- getWeatherForDate("ORD", "2001-01-01", "2017-05-27")
> range(weather$Date)
[1] "2001-01-01 CST" "2002-02-02 CST"

Why I am missing the data after 2002?

Thanks! Tommy

Hi Tommy,

Thanks for noticing this. The reason for this is that weatherUnderground doesn't want us to pull a huge volume of data in a single file. (For some reason, they truncate the number of rows to be 400 rows or less.)

Here's working code that should do what you wish:

multi_weather <- lapply(as.character(2001:2004), 
                        function(x){getWeatherForYear("ORD", x)})

df_allyears <- do.call(rbind, multi_weather)

A few others have also asked for it. I might make it a proper function in a future version. For now though, this should work. (Please change the years to whatever you wish them to be.

Please let me know if this doesn't work for you.
