Search and browse Scribd documents

docs_search(query, category = NULL, language = NULL,
            simple = TRUE, limit = 10, offset = 0, ...)

docs_featured(scope = "hot", limit = 20, offset = 0, ...)

docs_browse(sort = "popular", limit = 20, offset = 0, ...)

docs_list(limit = 20, offset = 0, ...)

`query`	A character string containing a search query. If `simple=TRUE`
`category`	Optionally, a numeric value indicating a Scribd document category, perhaps returned by `docs_categories`.
`language`	Optionally, an ISO 639-1 formatted language identifier.
`simple`	A logical indicating when `TRUE` (the default), to allow advanced search queries like `title:"A Tale of Two Cities"`. When `FALSE`, `query` is interpreted like a search query on the Sribd website.
`scope`	A character string containing either “new” or “hot”.
`sort`	A character string containing one of “popular”, “views”, or “newest”.
`limit`	For results pagination, a numeric value indicating the number of result to return. Must be less than 1000.
`offset`	For results pagination, a numeric value indicating the initial result to return. Must be less than 1000.
`...`	Other arguments passed to HTTP request functions.

docs_search allows for searches of all documents on Scribd based on a search query, category restrictions, and language restrictions.

docs_featured returns a list of featured documents based on time or popularity.

docs_browse returns a list of documents based on time, views, or popularity.

docs_list returns a list of the user's own documents.

All of these functions can be paginated using the limit (page size) and offset (page start) parameters. For example, a call with limit = 20, offset = 0 returns the first 20 results. A subsequent call to limit = 20, offset = 20 returns the next 20 results.

A list of objects of class “scribd_doc”.
