\item{years}{a vector of years to retrieve data for (i.e. \code{2014} for CDC

flu season 2014-2015). Default value is the current year and all

\value{
|
|
If only a single \code{data_source} is specified, then a single

|
\code{data.frame} is returned, otherwise a named list with each
|
|
\code{data.frame} is returned.

\description{
|
|
Uses the data source from the
|
|
\href{https://gis.cdc.gov/grasp/fluview/fluportaldashboard.html}{CDC FluView}
|
|
and provides flu reporting data as either a single data frame or a list of
|
|
data frames (depending on whether either \code{WHO NREVSS} or \code{ILINet}
|
|
(or both) is chosen.
|
|
}
|
|
\details{
|
|
A lookup table between HHS regions and their member states/territories
|
|
is provided in \code{\link{hhs_regions}}.
|
|
}
|
|
\note{
|
|
There is often a noticeable delay when making the API request to the CDC.
|
|
This is not due to a large download size, but the time it takes for their
|
|
servers to crunch the data. Wrap the function call in \code{httr::with_verbose}
|
|
if you would like to see what's going on.
