[Questioning] This function downloads generic information of sites of ILTER sites (more than 1200 around the world), through the DEIMS-SDR API. Return a tibble object.

Usage

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

Arguments

country_name

A character. Country name (complete name in English, French, Italian, German, OR 2 digits ISO code) of DEIMS sites to retrieve. Partial matching of country names is NOT 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.

Note

at least one of country_name or site_name must be specified
