R: Retrieve a TLD dataset

tld_refresh {urltools} | R Documentation

## Retrieve a TLD dataset

### Description

`urltools` comes with an inbuilt dataset of top level domains (TLDs), `tld_dataset`. This is used in `tld_extract` to identify the top-level domain within a particular domain name.

While updates to the dataset will be included in each new package release, there's going to be a gap between changes to TLDs and changes to the package. Accordingly, the package also includes `tld_refresh`, which generates and returns a fresh version of the dataset. This can then be passed through to `tld_extract`.

### Usage

    tld_refresh()

### Value

a dataset equivalent in format to `tld_dataset`.

### See Also

`tld_extract` to extract suffixes from domain names, or `tld_dataset` for the inbuilt, default version of the data.

### Examples

    ## Not run:
    new_tlds <- tld_refresh()

    ## End(Not run)
