Attributes of a series

Many series are available in different forms. The function oenb_attributes obtains a table of available query specifications of a given series.

attrib <- oenb_attributes(id = "11", pos = "VDBFKBSC217000")
attrib
#>   attribute_code                 attribute value_code
#> 1          dval1             Data producer         AT

freq <- oenb_frequency(id = "11", pos = "VDBFKBSC217000")
freq
#>   frequency    available_period
#> 1         A         1998 - 2019
#> 2         M Jan.  98 - Jan.  20
