Please search on "Bureau of Labor Statistics" at rseek.org. You will find several packages and other resources there for doing what you want. -- Ber Bert Gunter "The trouble with having an open mind is that people keep coming along and sticking things into it." -- Opus (aka Berkeley Breathed in his "Bloom County" comic strip ) On Tue, Jan 29, 2019 at 9:21 AM Evans, Richard K.

Hello, I'd like to generate my own plots of various labor statistics using live data available at https://www.bls.gov/bls/api_features.htm This is 10% an R question and 90 % a bls.gov api query question. Please forgive me for making this request here but I would be truly grateful for anyone here on the R mailinglist who can show me how to write a line of R code that "fetches" the raw data anew from the bls.gov website every time it runs. Truest Thanks, /Rich
