Some rgbif features require GBIF login details. Most
notably if you want to run occ_download
, you need to
supply
- user : Your GBIF username
- pwd : Your GBIF password
- email : Your e-mail
The best way to allow rgbif access to your GBIF credentials is to save them in your .Renviron file.
The easiest way to edit this file is by running:
install.packages("usethis")
usethis::edit_r_environ()
Edit your .Renviron to look like this:
GBIF_USER="jwaller"
GBIF_PWD="safe_fake_password_123"
GBIF_EMAIL="jwaller@gbif.org"
Now you should be able to run occ_download
with no
user, pwd, or
email.
