image_info: Fetch information about an image, given its image ID

In bioatlas/r-functionality: Swedish Biodiversity Data Infrastructure Data and Resources in R

Description

Note that there is currently no web service that provides image information, and so we are scraping results from pages of the form https://images.bioatlas.se/image/details?imageId=id. This web scraping may be fragile, and will be replaced by a web-service-based function when one becomes available.

Usage

image_info(id, verbose = sbdi_config()$verbose)

Arguments

id	character: IDs of images (e.g. as returned by occurrences in the imageUrl column). Each ID will be of a format something like "84654e14-dc35-4486-9e7c-40eb2f8d3faa"
verbose	logical: show additional progress information? [default is set by sbdi_config()]

Value

A data.frame with one row per id, and at least the columns imageIdentifier and imageURL
