Get data about GBIF networks

Usage

network(
  data = "all",
  uuid = NULL,
  query = NULL,
  identifier = NULL,
  identifierType = NULL,
  limit = 100,
  start = NULL,
  curlopts = list()
)

network_constituents(uuid = NULL, limit = 100, start = 0)

Arguments

data

The type of data to get. One or more of: 'contact', 'endpoint', 'identifier', 'tag', 'machineTag', 'comment', 'constituents', or the special 'all'. Default: 'all'

uuid

UUID of the data network provider. This must be specified if data is anything other than 'all'. Only 1 can be passed in

query

Query nodes. Only used when data='all'. Ignored otherwise.

identifier

The value for this parameter can be a simple string or integer, e.g. identifier=120. This parameter doesn't seem to work right now.

identifierType

Used in combination with the identifier parameter to filter identifiers by identifier type. See details. This parameter doesn't seem to work right now.

limit

Number of records to return. Default: 100. Maximum: 1000.

start

Record number to start at. Default: 0. Use in combination with limit to page through results.

curlopts

list of named curl options passed on to HttpClient. see curl::curl_options for curl options

Value

  • network() returns a list

  • network_constituents() returns a data.frame of datasets in the network

Details

identifierType options:

  • DOI No description.

  • FTP No description.

  • GBIF_NODE Identifies the node (e.g: DK for Denmark, sp2000 for Species 2000).

  • GBIF_PARTICIPANT Participant identifier from the GBIF IMS Filemaker system.

  • GBIF_PORTAL Indicates the identifier originated from an auto_increment column in the portal.data_provider or portal.data_resource table respectively.

  • HANDLER No description.

  • LSID Reference controlled by a separate system, used for example by DOI.

  • SOURCE_ID No description.

  • UNKNOWN No description.

  • URI No description.

  • URL No description.

  • UUID No description.

Get various information about GBIF networks. network_constituents() is a convenience function that allows you to get all the datasets in a network.
