get_seifa(): Accessing past ABS data releases. #89

Closed JustGitting closed 1 year ago

JustGitting commented 1 year ago

Hi,

Thanks for the handy package making it a lot easier to access ABS data.

Because I'm using SEIFA data from both 2011 and 2016. Could get_seifa() be updated to download and parse the 2011 release:

https://www.abs.gov.au/AUSSTATS/abs@.nsf/allprimarymainfeatures/8C5F5BB699A0921CCA258259000BA619

Maybe the function could be modified to include the release year, for example:

get_seifa(
  structure = c("sa1", "sa2", "lga", "postcode", "suburb"),
  data_subclass = c("irsed", "irsead", "ier", "ieo"),
  release = c(2011, 2016)
)

Thank you again.
