Retrieve Targeting Metadata

Overview of Targeting Metadata

The retrieve_targeting_metadata() function helps you understand what targeting data is available in the archive. It provides information about:

  • Available dates

  • File sizes

  • Data completeness

  • Country coverage

Basic Usage

library(metatargetr)

# Get metadata for Germany's 30-day data
metadata <- retrieve_targeting_metadata("DE", "30")

# View the metadata
print(metadata)

Understanding the Output

The metadata includes:

  • Country code

  • Date stamps

  • Timeframe information

  • Data availability flags

Using Metadata for Data Validation

#| eval: false # Check data availability before retrieval metadata <- retrieve_targeting_metadata(“DE”, “30”)

if (nrow(metadata) > 0) { # Data is available, proceed with retrieval historical_data <- get_targeting_db(“DE”, 30, metadata$ds[1]) }
