get_ids: get_ids

In cboettig/taxadb: A High-Performance Local Taxonomic Database Interface

get_ids

Description

A drop-in replacement for ⁠[taxize::get_ids()]⁠

Usage

get_ids(
  names,
  provider = getOption("taxadb_default_provider", "itis"),
  format = c("prefix", "bare", "uri"),
  version = latest_version(),
  taxadb_db = td_connect(),
  ignore_case = FALSE,
  warn = TRUE,
  db = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

names	a list of scientific names (which may include higher-order ranks in most authorities).
provider	abbreviation code for the provider. See details.
format	Format for the returned identifier, one of prefix (e.g. NCBI:9606, the default), or bare (e.g. 9606, used in taxize::get_ids()), uri (e.g. ⁠http://ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/taxonomy/9606⁠).
version	Which version of the taxadb provider database should we use? defaults to latest. see ⁠[avialable_releases()]⁠ for details.
taxadb_db	Connection to from ⁠[td_connect()]⁠.
ignore_case	should we ignore case (capitalization) in matching names? default is TRUE.
warn	should we display warnings on NAs resulting from multiply-resolved matches? (Unlike unmatched names, these NAs can usually be resolved manually via filter_id())
db	previous name for provider argument, now deprecated
...	additional arguments (currently ignored)

Details

Note that some taxize authorities: nbn, tropicos, and eol, are not recognized by taxadb and will throw an error here. Meanwhile, taxadb recognizes several authorities not known to ⁠[taxize::get_ids()]⁠. Both include itis, ncbi, col, and gbif.

Like all taxadb functions, this function will run fastest if a local copy of the provider is installed in advance using ⁠[td_create()]⁠.

Value

a vector of IDs, of the same length as the input names Any unmatched names or multiply-matched names will return as NAs. To resolve multi-matched names, use ⁠[filter_name()]⁠ instead to return a table with a separate row for each separate match of the input name.
