getDetailedWeather {weatherData} | R Documentation

## Gets weather data for a single date (All records)

### Description

Given a valid station and a single date this function will return a dataframe of time-stamped weather data. It does not summarize the data.

### Usage

    getDetailedWeather(station_id, date, station_type = "airportCode",
      opt_temperature_columns = TRUE, opt_all_columns = FALSE,
      opt_custom_columns = FALSE, custom_columns = NULL,
      opt_compress_output = FALSE, opt_verbose = FALSE, opt_warnings = TRUE)

### Arguments

`station_id` | is a valid 3-letter airport code or a valid Weather Station ID
`date` | is a valid string representing a date in the past (YYYY-MM-DD)
`station_type` | can be `airportCode` which is the default, or it can be `id` which is a weather-station ID
`opt_temperature_columns` | Boolen flag to indicate only Temperature data is to be returned (default TRUE)
`opt_all_columns` | Boolen flag to indicate whether all available data is to be returned (default FALSE)
`opt_custom_columns` | Boolen flag to indicate if only a user-specified set of columns are to be returned. (default FALSE) If TRUE, then the desired columns must be specified via `custom_columns`
`custom_columns` | Vector of integers specified by the user to indicate which columns to fetch. The Date column is always returned as the first column. The column numbers specfied in `custom_columns` are appended as columns of the data frame being returned (default NULL). The exact column numbers can be found by visiting the weatherUnderground URL, and counting from 1. Note that if `opt_custom_columns` is TRUE, then `custom_columns` must be specified.
`opt_compress_output` | Boolean flag to indicate if a compressed output is preferred. If this option is set to be TRUE, only every other record is returned
`opt_verbose` | Boolean flag to indicate if verbose output is desired
`opt_warnings` | Boolean flag to turn off warnings. Default value is TRUE, to keep the warnings on.

### Value

A data frame with each row containing:

- Date and Time stamp for the date specified

- Temperature and/or other weather columns
