Missing 2019 data

[greenLauren]

When using the station_search method, the end period for Edmonton stations goes until 2018. While the Environment Canada website shows data from 2019. When you try to retrieve this data in R, you get an error.

library(weathercan)

station<-stations_search("Edmonton", interval =  "hour")
station<-station %>%filter(end > 2019)

edmonton_data<-weather_dl(station_ids = station$station_id, start ="2019-01-01",end="2019-12-31")

Error in 1:grep("Date/Time", preamble$V1) : argument of length 0

Hi @greenLauren

I am not able to replicate this. Which version of weathercan are you using? Try updating to 0.3.3 if you don't have the most recent version of weathercan.

maybe filter should be >=2019

@boshek @ebourlon it was weird, when I looked at the end dates they ended in 2018 or earlier for the most part.

I updated the package and the data retrieved ended in 2019 or 2020. I'm not sure if the version I was using had a different api call or what, but regardless updating the package worked.

Thanks!

Hi @greenLauren, when you updated the package you updated the internal stations data frame. You can update that manually, if you find that it doesn't match the stations listed by ECCC (see the Getting Started vignette, particularly the stations_dl() function for more details).
