Method for converting openaq_instruments_list to data frame.

Usage

# S3 method for class 'openaq_instruments_list'
as.data.frame(x, row.names = NULL, optional = FALSE, ...)

x: A list of instruments as returned from list_instruments.
row.names: NULL or a character vector giving the row names for the data frame. Missing values are not allowed.
optional: logical. If TRUE, setting row names and converting column names (to syntactic names: see make.names) is optional. Note that all of R's base package as.data.frame() methods use optional only for column names treatment, basically with the meaning of data.frame(*, check.names = !optional). See also the make.names argument of the matrix method.
...: additional arguments to be passed to or from methods.

A data frame class of the instruments results, with the following columns:

id: Numeric. The instruments identifier.
name: Character. The name of the measurement instrument.
is_monitor: Logical. Indicates if the instrument is considered a reference monitor.
manufacturer_id: Numeric. The manufacturers identifier for the manufacturer that makes the instrument.
manufacturer_name: Factor. The name of manufacturer that makes the instrument.

The data frame also includes a meta attribute from the original openaq_instruments_list.

if (FALSE) { # interactive()
instruments <- list_instruments(as_data_frame = FALSE)
as.data.frame(instruments)
