resources: Get data resources 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

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

Arguments

name	data provider name search string, by default searches all data resources 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 resources
resources(maxresults=10)
#'# All data providers
resources()

## End(Not run)
