Now you know how to make calls! The general template for making a call (after making sure authentication is set up) is as follows.
# Option 1: User friendly functions
1. Make the call with the appropriate `get` function for the service.
```{r eval = FALSE}
result <- get_state_fips()
```
2. If the call requires a single variable, declare the variable with the variable name and pass it as an argument, or directly pass it as an argument.
```{r eval = FALSE}
result <- get_counties_in_state(state.fips = 'value')
```
3. If the call requires multiple variables, pass each variable as it's corresponding argument.
```{r eval = FALSE}
result <- get_annual_summary_in_state(bdate = "value.one",
edate = "value.two",
state.fips = "value.three",
param = "value.four")
```
# Option 2: Manually placing the call
1. Determine an endpoint for your service (possibly with the `services` object).
```{r eval = FALSE}
endpoint <- 'APIEndpoint'
```
2. Make the call with `perform.call()`.
```{r eval = FALSE}
result <- perform.call(endpoint)
```
3. If the call requires a single variable, declare the variable with the API variable name and pass it in as a second argument
in `perform.call()`.
```{r eval = FALSE}
variable <- "value"
result <- perform.call(endpoint, variable)
```
Or, specify the name of the API variable in the third argument.
```{r eval = FALSE}
variable.code <- "value"
result <- perform.call(endpoint, variable.code, name = "API variable name")
```
4. If the call requires multiple variables, make a list and pass it in as a second argument
in `perform.call()`.
```{r eval = FALSE}
variables <- list(variable.one = "value.one",
variable.two = "value.two",
variable.three = "value.three")
result <- perform.call(endpoint, variables)
```
Or, specify the names of parameter codes in the second argument.
```{r eval = FALSE}
variables <- list("value.one", "value.two", "value.three")
result <- perform.call(endpoint,
variables,
name = list("variable.one", "variable.two", "variable.three"))
```
