In dvn: Access to Dataverse 3 APIs

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) See Also Examples

Search a Dataverse by keyword(s) in one or more metadata fields.

1	dvSearch(query, boolean = "AND", dv = getOption('dvn'), browser = FALSE, ...)

`query`	Either a list of named search parameters or an unnamed, one-element list containing an appropriately formatted character string of search parameters. Search parameters can be retrieved via `dvSearchFields`. If specified as a single character string, the search is performed on all available fields using a boolean OR logic.
`boolean`	A character string specifying the boolean “AND” (the default) or “OR” by which multiple values in the `query` parameter should be combined. Ignored if `query` is a single character string or one-element list.
`dv`	An optional character string specifying the Dataverse to query. Default is the Harvard IQSS Dataverse.
`browser`	A logical specifying whether the query should be executed in a web browser. Default is `FALSE`.
`...`	Optionally, additional arguments passed to `getURL` via `dvQuery`.

Unlike searching on the dataverse website, the API requires searching within named metdata fields. The set of available metadata fields can be retrieved from dvSearchFields.

A dataframe containing one variable (objectId), made up of character strings containing dataverse objectIds.
