suffix_refresh function

Retrieve a public suffix dataset

urltools comes with an inbuilt dataset of public suffixes, suffix_dataset. This is used in suffix_extract to identify the top-level domain within a particular domain name.

While updates to the dataset will be included in each new package release, there's going to be a gap between changes to the suffixes list and changes to the package. Accordingly, the package also includes suffix_refresh, which generates and returns a fresh version of the dataset. This can then be passed through to suffix_extract.

suffix_refresh()

Returns

a dataset equivalent in format to suffix_dataset.

Examples

## Not run:

new_suffixes <- suffix_refresh()
## End(Not run)
