Load eBird Status Data Products configuration file

Description

Load the configuration file for an eBird Status run. This configuration file is mostly for internal use and contains a variety of parameters used in the modeling process.

Usage

load_config(species, path = ebirdst_data_dir())

Arguments

species	character; the species to load data for, given as a scientific name, common name or six-letter species code (e.g. "woothr"). The full list of valid species is in the ebirdst_runs data frame included in this package. To download the example dataset, use "yebsap-example".
path	character; directory to download the data to. All downloaded files will be placed in a sub-directory of this directory named for the data version year, e.g. "2020" for the 2020 Status Data Products. Each species' data package will then appear in a directory named with the eBird species code. Defaults to a persistent data directory, which can be found by calling ebirdst_data_dir().

Value

A list with the run configuration parameters.

Examples

## Not run: 
# download example data if hasn't already been downloaded
ebirdst_download_status("yebsap-example")

# load configuration parameters
p <- load_config("yebsap-example")

## End(Not run)
