Minimal px template

Below is a minimal template for tables meant to be presented in Statbank Greenland.

Subjects

px files are published in Statbank Greenland and organized into subjects/topics. The api (pxweb) exposes this information for each supported language in https://bank.stat.gl/api/v1/{language}/Greenland.

Subjects by ChatGPT

ChatGPT can be used to generate R code. In this example, api endpoints adresses to subject (codes and texts) are provided and ChatGPT i asked to:

Please combine data from
https://bank.stat.gl/api/v1/en/Greenland,
https://bank.stat.gl/api/v1/da/Greenland and
https://bank.stat.gl/api/v1/kl/Greenland
into one dataframe in r and add column with language, in tidyverse, fetch as function

This is returned:

# Load the necessary packages
library(httr)
library(jsonlite)
library(tidyverse)

# Function to fetch data from API and add language column
fetch_data <- function(url, language) {
  response <- GET(url)
  data <- content(response, as = "text")
  json_data <- fromJSON(data, flatten = TRUE) %>% as_tibble()
  json_data <- json_data %>% mutate(language = language)
  return(json_data)
}

# URLs for the APIs
url_en <- "https://bank.stat.gl/api/v1/en/Greenland"
url_da <- "https://bank.stat.gl/api/v1/da/Greenland"
url_kl <- "https://bank.stat.gl/api/v1/kl/Greenland"

# Fetch data from each API
df_en <- fetch_data(url_en, 'English')
df_da <- fetch_data(url_da, 'Danish')
df_kl <- fetch_data(url_kl, 'Greenlandic')

# Combine the dataframes
combined_df <- bind_rows(df_en, df_da, df_kl)

# Clean and inspect the combined dataframe
# View the first few rows of the combined dataframe
head(combined_df)

# Check the structure of the combined dataframe
glimpse(combined_df)
