A new vignette demonstrating how some of the new functions can be used
This package allows the user to retrieve tables of:
- indicators, domains and profiles and their relationships to each other
- data related to indicators for geographies where the data are already available on the Fingertips website
- indicator metadata
- deprivation data for geographies that are available on the Fingertips website
