Details

This function is a thin wrapper around curl::curl_download() to get files to your machine only. We don't attempt to read/parse them

Examples

# NOT RUN {
# Single file
x <- dryad_files('10.5061/dryad.1758')

## without specifying a destination file
dryad_fetch(url = x)

## specify a destination file
dryad_fetch(url = x, (f <- tempfile(fileext = ".csv")))

# Many files
x <- dryad_files(doi = '10.5061/dryad.60699')
res <- dryad_fetch(x)
head(read.delim(res[[1]], sep = ";"))
# }
