Method for converting openaq_providers_list to data frame.

Usage

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

x: A list of providers as returned from list_providers.
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 providers results, with the following columns:

id: Numeric. The providers identifier.
name: Character. The name of the provider.
source_name: Factor. The name of the source.
export_prefix: Character. Prefixed when exported to file store.
datetime_added: POSIXct. Datetime when the provider was first added to OpenAQ.
datetime_first: POSIXct. Datetime of the first measurement value from the provider.
datetime_last: POSIXct. Datetime of the last measurement value from the provider.
entities_id: Numeric. Entities identifier for the provider.
parameter_ids: Character. A comma delimited list of parameters identifier measured by the provider.

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