vfb_fromvfbids(vfbids, ..., mustWork = NA)

vfb_tovfbids(ids, fixed = TRUE, ...)

`vfbids`	One or more vfb identifiers. Solr wildcards can also be used when `fixed=FALSE`- see examples and `vfb_solr_query`
`...`	Additional arguments passed to `vfb_solr_query`.
`mustWork`	logical: if `TRUE` then an error is given if there are missing results; if NA then a warning; if `FALSE` then there will be no message but missing values will still be denoted by `NA` values.
`ids`	One or more external identifiers. Solr wildcards can also be used when `fixed=FALSE`- see examples and `vfb_solr_query`
`fixed`	Whether to insist on exact matches. When `fixed=FALSE` solr wildcards can be used.

Note that these functions are not appropriate for fetching more than ~ 200 identifiers individually specified identifiers. If a large number of identifiers are required, it is a much better idea to fetch all ids and then filter locally.

A character vector of vfb ids (for vfb_fromvfbids) or external identifiers (for vfb_tovfbids) in the same order as the input query. Missing values will be denoted by NAs when fixed=TRUE. When fixed=FALSE and a wild-card search returns no results a character vector of length 0 will be returned.

gmr_vfbid, vfb_solr_query, which powers the underlying queries.

vfb_fromvfbids(vfbids)

# make up a fake id for testing - will give a warning
