Arguments

lang	Language in which to return the results. If lang is unspecified, english is the default. For supported languages see wb_languages(). Possible values of lang are in the iso2 column. A note of warning, not all data returns have support for langauges other than english. If the specific return does not support your requested language by default it will return NA.
include_archive	logical. If TRUE indicators that have been archived by the World Bank will be included in the return. Data for these additional indicators are not available through the standard API and querying them using wb_data() will not return data. Default is FALSE.

fresh_cache <- wb_cache()
fresh_indicators <- fresh_cache$indicators

# or by running the wb_indicators() function directly
fresh_indicators <- wb_indicators()

# include archived indicators
# see include_archive parameter description
