Extinct taxa assessment summary

Get an assessment summary for all possibly extinct taxa

Usage

rl_extinct(key = NULL, parse = TRUE, all = TRUE, page = 1, quiet = FALSE, ...)

rl_extinct_(key = NULL, all = TRUE, page = 1, quiet = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

key

(character) An IUCN API token. See rl_use_iucn().

parse

(logical) Whether to parse the output to list (FALSE) or, where possible, data.frame (TRUE). Default: TRUE.

all

(logical) Whether to retrieve all results at once or not. If TRUE we do the paging internally for you and bind all of the results together. If FALSE, only a single page of results will be retrieved.

page

(integer/numeric) Page to get if all is FALSE. Default: 1. Each page returns up to 100 records. Paging is required because it's too much burden on a server to just "get all the data" in one request.

quiet

(logical) Whether to suppress progress for multi-page downloads or not. Default: FALSE (that is, give progress). Ignored if all = FALSE.

...

Curl options passed to the GET request via cruls.

Value

A list unless using a function with a trailing underscore, in which case json as character string is returned.
