vb_basereq: Generate a base request object for the vectorbyte databases

In ohvbd: One Health VBD Hub

Generate a base request object for the vectorbyte databases

Description

This request is used as the basis for all calls to the vectorbyte API. It does not contain any tokens or session ids, and thus can be regenerated at any time.

Usage

vb_basereq(
  baseurl = "https://vectorbyte.crc.nd.edu/portal/api/",
  useragent = "ROHVBD",
  unsafe = FALSE,
  .qa = FALSE
)

Arguments

baseurl	the base url for the vectorbyte API.
useragent	the user agent string used when contacting vectorbyte.
unsafe	disable ssl verification (shouldn't ever be required unless you are otherwise experiencing SSL issues!)
.qa	switch to the vb qa server (only useful for testing).

Value

Returns an httr2 request object, pointing at baseurl using useragent.
