Lets fetch the data for the "afstemning" endpoint

ft_data <- get_ft("afstemning") #> Fetching 1763 rows of data #> Putting it all in to one data frame

Lets have a look at the data

ft_data #> # A tibble: 1,763 × 9 #> id nummer #> #> 1 1 411 #> 2 2 412 #> 3 5 412 #> 4 6 410 #> 5 7 408 #> 6 8 407 #> 7 9 404 #> 8 10 405 #> 9 11 406 #> 10 12 400 #> # ... with 1,753 more rows, and 7 more variables: konklusion , #> # vedtaget , kommentar , mødeid , typeid , #> # sagstrinid , opdateringsdato

This is a first version of the package. It does the job of pulling data from the API. Next up will be to create more elaborate functions. Please contribute to the package if you can.
