statcan_bc_latest

The latest N reference periods of one British Columbia series from a curated Statistics Canada table, fetched live from the Web Data Service. For the two city tables (18100001 gasoline prices, 46100092 asking rents) pass geography, one named city: there is no B.C. total and cities are never added together. Values keep their unit, scalar factor, status and revision flags; a value that is suppressed or not available is null with its status spelled out. Use statcan_table_dimensions to pick members.

Cost: 5 units of your allowance (see Rate limits).
