Description
Retrieve data from the iDigBio specimen data repository.
About
ridigbio provides an interface to the iDigBio data API described here:
https://www.idigbio.org/wiki/index.php/IDigBio_API. With this package
you can retrieve specimen and media records from the iDigBio data
repository. The iDigBio portal https://portal.idigbio.org/ uses the
same API so you should be able to retrieve the same information as shown in
the portal.
iDigBio contains nearly 30 million data records on museum specimens held at
United States institutions. It also holds nearly 5 million images of these
specimens.
Getting Started
The main function is idig_search_records and reviewing its
documenation first with ?idig_search_records is recommended.
Limitations
This package does not yet provide an interface to the mapping or the
download APIs.
