R: Retrieve a public suffix dataset

suffix_refresh {urltools} | R Documentation

## Retrieve a public suffix dataset

### Description

`urltools` comes with an inbuilt dataset of public suffixes, `suffix_dataset`. This is used in `suffix_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 the suffixes list and changes to the package. Accordingly, the package also includes `suffix_refresh`, which generates and returns a fresh version of the dataset. This can then be passed through to `suffix_extract`.

### Usage

    suffix_refresh()

### Value

a dataset equivalent in format to `suffix_dataset`.

### See Also

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

### Examples

    ## Not run:
    new_suffixes <- suffix_refresh()

    ## End(Not run)
