Fetch GBIF dataset/s by ID

Source: R/fetch_gbif.R
fetch_gbif.Rd

Retrieve GBIF dataset/s specified by their dataset ID.

Usage

fetch_gbif(ids, filepath = ".")

Arguments

ids

a string or character vector of ids (preferably in an ohvbd.ids object) indicating the particular dataset/s to download.

filepath

directory to save gbif download files into.

Value

A list of rgbif occ_download_get objects, as an ohvbd.responses object.

Note

Only 300 datasets can be requested at once (for now) due to technical limitations originating from the GBIF server setup. It is worth splitting longer lists of ids into a couple of chunks if you need more than this.

If you regularly use ohvbd to download large numbers of datasets at once and chunking is causing you other issues, please raise an issue at https://github.com/fwimp/ohvbd/issues.
