Download information of all ILTER sites or a subset of ILTER sites.

This function downloads generic information of all sites, or a subset of ILTER sites (more than 1200 around the world), through the DEIMS-SDR API. If no country_name or site_name are specified, the whole list of sites is returned. If either or both of the filtering strings is specified, then a filtered subset of the sites is acquired.

Return a tibble object.

Usage

get_ilter_generalinfo(country_name = NA, site_name = NA, show_map = FALSE)

Arguments

country_name

A character. This character string filters the full set of DEIMS sites by country name. Partial matching is supported.

site_name

A character. This character string filters by site name where, again, partial matching is supported

show_map

A boolean. If TRUE a Leaflet map of site locations is shown. Default FALSE

Value

An sf object of the bounding boxes of sites in the filtered list, containing the name, DEIMS ID, longitude, latitude, average altitude, and affiliation of the filtered ILTER sites. If no bounding box is available,the centroid is returned.
