providers: Get data providers and their unique keys.

In sckott/rgbif_scott: Interface to the Global Biodiversity Information Facility API methods

Description

Beware: It takes a while to retrieve the full list of providers - so go get more coffee. #'

Usage

  providers(name = "", maxresults = NA,
    url = "http://data.gbif.org/ws/rest/provider/list",
    ..., curl = getCurlHandle())

Arguments

name	data provider name search string, by default searches all data providers by defining name = ”
maxresults	max number of results to return
url	the base GBIF API url for the function (should be left to default)
...	optional additional curl options (debugging tools mostly)
curl	If using in a loop, call getCurlHandle() first and pass the returned value in here (avoids unnecessary footprint)

Examples

## Not run: 
# Test the function for a few providers
providers(maxresults=10)
#'# All data providers
providers()

## End(Not run)
