[Stable] This function obtains information of a single eLTER site, as a stored in DEIMS-SDR catalogue, through the DEIMS-SDR API.

Usage

get_site_info(deimsid, category = NA)

Arguments

deimsid

A character. The DEIMS ID of the site from DEIMS-SDR website. DEIMS ID information here.

category

A category. This parameter selects which category or categories are retrieved and returned in the result. Possible value are: 'Affiliations', 'Boundaries', 'Contacts', 'EnvCharacts', 'General', 'Infrastructure', 'observedProperties', 'RelateRes'. Multiple values can be indicated.

Value

The output of the function is a tibble with main features of the site and the selected information, such as: networks and projects in which the site is involved. If category 'Boundaries' is indicated an sf object is returned
