Retrieve List of Available Datasets from Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) API

This function retrieves a list of available datasets from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) API. It requires a valid API key and can return results in different formats.

Usage

beaDatasetList(ResultFormat = "json", beaKey = NULL)

Arguments

ResultFormat: A character string specifying the desired format of the results. Default is "json". Other possible values may include "xml" (check BEA API documentation for all options).
beaKey: A character string containing the BEA API key. If NULL (default), the function will attempt to retrieve the key using `getbeaKey()`.

Value

If ResultFormat is "json", returns a tibble (data frame) containing information about available datasets. For other formats, returns the raw API response.
