Usage

occ_download_cached(
  ...,
  body = NULL,
  type = "and",
  format = "DWCA",
  user = NULL,
  pwd = NULL,
  email = NULL,
  refresh = FALSE,
  age = 30,
  curlopts = list()
)

Arguments

...

For occ_download() and occ_download_prep(), one or more objects of class occ_predicate or occ_predicate_list, created by pred* functions (see download_predicate_dsl). If you use this, don't use body parameter.

body

if you prefer to pass in the payload yourself, use this parameter. If you use this, don't pass anything to the dots. Accepts either an R list, or JSON. JSON is likely easier, since the JSON library jsonlite requires that you unbox strings that shouldn't be auto-converted to arrays, which is a bit tedious for large queries. optional

type

(character) One of equals (=), and (&), or (|), lessThan (<), lessThanOrEquals (<=), greaterThan (>), greaterThanOrEquals (>=), in, within, not (!), like, isNotNull

format

(character) The download format. One of 'DWCA' (default), 'SIMPLE_CSV', or 'SPECIES_LIST'

user

(character) User name within GBIF's website. Required. See "Authentication" below

pwd

(character) User password within GBIF's website. Required. See "Authentication" below

email

(character) Email address to receive download notice done email. Required. See "Authentication" below

refresh

(logical) refresh your list of downloads. on the first request of each R session we'll cache your stored GBIF occurrence downloads locally. you can refresh this list by setting refresh=TRUE; if you're in the same R session, and you've done many download requests, then refreshing may be a good idea if you're using this function

age

(integer) number of days after which you want a new download. default: 30

curlopts

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