I am using the package parlitools in R. This basically downloads UK election data so you can plot on a Map. I have a lot of code that does not now work as it can't download the data. The error message I get is "Error in open.connection(con, "rb") : HTTP error 404".
Does anyone know why I am now getting this error message. I am using the same computer as before. Alternatively, could someone try downloading the data in R to see if it is my internet connection or another issue potentially?
The following packages are used.
library(leaflet)library(sf)library(htmlwidgets)library(dplyr)library(parlitools)library(ggplot2)
This section of code should download the data needed with no error messages.
`west_hex_map <- parlitools::west_hex_map
party_col <- parlitools::party_colour
mps <- mps_on_date("2019-12-13")
mps_colours <- left_join(mps, party_col, by = "party_id")
Join to current MP data
west_hex_map <- left_join(west_hex_map, mps_colours, by = "gss_code")
Join colours to hexagon map`
Thanks for reading, James.
