Arguments

searchItems	A vector of characters where each element is a substance descriptor (any of the selected identifierTypes) you wish to query.
identifierTypes	Substance identifiers for searching CompTox. Only used when inputType is set to "IDENTIFIER".
inputType	Type of input used for searching CompTox. See usage section for valid entries.
downloadItems	Output fields of CompTox data for requested substances
massError	Error tolerance when searching for substances based on their monoisotopic mass. Only used for inputType = "MASS".
timeout	Time in seconds (default is 300 secs), that the routine will wait for the download link to get ready. It will throw an error if it takes longer than the specified timeout.
verify_ssl	When set to FALSE the SSL certificate of the host (EPA) is not verified. Can also be set as option: options(ECOTOXr_verify_ssl = TRUE). Default is TRUE.
...	Arguments passed on to httr2::req_options() requests.

Details

The CompTox Chemicals Dashboard is a freely accessible on-line U.S. EPA database. It contains information on physico-chemical properties, environmental fate and transport, exposure, usage, in vivo toxicity, and in vitro bioassay of a wide range of substances.

The function described here to search and retrieve records from the on-line database is experimental. This is because this feature is not formally supported by the EPA, and it may break in future incarnations of the on-line database. The function forms an interface between R and the CompTox website and is therefore limited by the restrictions documented there.

Value

Returns a named list of dplyr::tibbles containing the search results for the requested output tables and fields. Results are unpolished and ‘as is’ returned by EPA's web service.
