covid_hosp_facility example yields empty string

[brookslogan]

I am having trouble constructing a call that doesn't give an empty string as a result. We should fix this example / the implementation, and also move examples to use fetch_tbl instead of fetch_csv so this situation will raise an error (plus, as mentioned independently, to be more relevant to users).

Using devtools to load the latest epidatr and running

pkgload::dev_example("covid_hosp_facility")

yielded "".

Some earlier test code which might have failed due to the requested data not actually existing:

library(epidatr)
library(dplyr)

lookup = covid_hosp_facility_lookup(state="fl") %>% fetch_tbl()

lookup$hospital_pk # addresses in here, some maybe duplicates??

# having trouble figuring out how to get this to emit data!
facility_data = covid_hosp_facility(
  lookup$hospital_pk[[1L]],
  epirange(20221101, 20221114)
) %>% fetch_tbl()


adapt_online_example = covid_hosp_facility('390119', epirange(20201201, 20201207)) %>% fetch_tbl()

try_docs_example = covid_hosp_facility(hospital_pks = "100075", collection_weeks = epirange(202001, 202005)) %>% fetch_tbl()

This example with the old client worked:

res = Epidata$covid_hosp_facility('390119', Epidata$range(20201201, 20201207))

tbl =
  raw$epidata %>%
  data.table::rbindlist() %>%
  tibble::as_tibble()

tbl %>%
  summarize(min(collection_week), max(collection_week))
#> # A tibble: 1 × 2
#>   `min(collection_week)` `max(collection_week)`
#>                    <int>                  <int>
#> 1               20221007               20221028

I have not yet tried applying this back to the new client. I'm surprised by the max collection week returned; will check on this. [The max collection "week" here does make sense given the alignment of the date representing the collection week + reporting delays/cadence + mirroring delays.]

This seems patched by now:

library(epidatr)
library(dplyr)
lookup = covid_hosp_facility_lookup(state="fl") %>% fetch_tbl()
lookup$hospital_pk

# This emits data
facility_data = covid_hosp_facility(
  lookup$hospital_pk[[1L]],
  epirange(20221101, 20221114)
) %>% fetch_tbl()

# This also emits data
covid_hosp_facility('390119', epirange(20201201, 20201207)) %>% fetch_tbl()

# This has a typo in the above post - the epirange values need to be dates
covid_hosp_facility(hospital_pks = "100075", collection_weeks = epirange(20200101, 20200501)) %>% fetch_tbl()
