Search in the Marine Regions Gazetteer by names, MRGID or reverse geocode with a pair of WGS84 coordinates x and y

Usage

gaz_search(x, ...)

# S3 method for class 'character'
gaz_search(x, ...)

# S3 method for class 'numeric'
gaz_search(x, ..., y = NULL)

# S3 method for class 'sfg'
gaz_search(x, ...)

# S3 method for class 'sf'
gaz_search(x, ...)

# S3 method for class 'sfc'
gaz_search(x, ...)

Arguments

x

object to perform the search with. Can be:

• (character) Free text search

• (integer) A valid Marine Regions Gazetteer Identifier (MRGID)

• (double) Longitude in WGS84

• Aditionally, you can pass objects of class sf::sf or sf::sfc with geometry of class POINT

...

Arguments passed on to gaz_rest_record_by_mrgid, gaz_rest_records_by_name, gaz_rest_records_by_names, gaz_rest_records_by_lat_long

with_geometry

(logical) Add geometry to the result data frame? Default = FALSE

rdf

(logical) Return an object of class rdflib::rdf?

typeid

(numeric) Restrict to one or more placetypeIDs. Retrieve a list of placetypeIDs with gaz_rest_types()

language

(character) Restrict to one language. Provide as a 2 digits ISO-639. See ISOcodes::ISO_639_2.

like

(logical) Add a '%'-sign before and after the name? (SQL LIKE function). Default = TRUE

# \donttest{

# Look-up a name in the Gazetteer
gaz_search("North Sea")
#> Error in gaz_rest_records_by_name(x, ...): HTTP 503 Service Unavailable.

# Get the entries of two known MRGID including their geometry
gaz_search(c(14, 17), with_geometry = TRUE)
#> Error in FUN(X[[i]], ...): HTTP 503 Service Unavailable.

# Maybe the name is in another language...
gaz_search("Noordzee", language = "nl")
#> Error in gaz_rest_records_by_name(x, ...): HTTP 503 Service Unavailable.

# Get all the records intersecting with the longitude 51.21551 and latitude 2.927
# restricting to some placetypes
gaz_search(x = 2.927, y = 51.21551, typeid = c(255, 259))
#> Error in gaz_rest_records_by_lat_long(latitude, longitude, ...): HTTP 503 Service Unavailable.
