😷 cdcfluview - Retrieve U.S. Flu Season Data from the CDC FluView Portal

CRAN\_Status\_Badge Travis-CI Build Status

NOTE If there's a particular data set from https://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/fluviewinteractive.htm that you want and that isn't in the package, please file it as an issue and be as specific as you can (screen shot if possible).


The U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) maintains a portal for accessing state, regional and national influenza statistics. The portal's Flash interface makes it difficult and time-consuming to select and retrieve influenza data. This package provides functions to access the data provided by the portal's underlying API.

The following functions are implemented:

  • get_flu_data: Retrieves state, regional or national influenza statistics from the CDC
  • get_state_data: Retrieves state/territory-level influenza statistics from the CDC
  • get_weekly_flu_report: Retrieves (high-level) weekly influenza surveillance report from the CDC
  • get_mortality_surveillance_data : (fairly self explanatory but also pretty new to the pkg and uses data from: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/nchs.htm

The following data sets are included:

  • hhs_regions HHS Region Table (a data frame with 59 rows and 4 variables)
  • census_regions Census Region Table (a data frame with 51 rows and 2 variables)

News

  • See NEWS
  • Version 0.4.0 - CRAN release
  • Version 0.4.0.999 released : another fix for the CDC API (for region parameter); added data files for HHS/Census region lookups; added weekly high-level flu report retrieval
  • Version 0.3 released : fix for the CDC API (it changed how year & region params are encoded in the request)
  • Version 0.2.1 released : bumped up httr version # requirement in DESCRIPTION (via Issue 1)
  • Version 0.2 released : added state-level data retrieval
  • Version 0.1 released
