get_boldid: Get the BOLD (Barcode of Life) code for a search term.

Description

Get the BOLD (Barcode of Life) code for a search term.

Usage

get_boldid(searchterm, fuzzy = FALSE, dataTypes = "basic",
  includeTree = FALSE, ask = TRUE, verbose = TRUE, rows = NA, ...)
as.boldid(x, check = TRUE)
## S3 method for class 'boldid':
as.boldid(x, check = TRUE)
## S3 method for class 'character':
as.boldid(x, check = TRUE)
## S3 method for class 'list':
as.boldid(x, check = TRUE)
## S3 method for class 'numeric':
as.boldid(x, check = TRUE)
## S3 method for class 'data.frame':
as.boldid(x, check = TRUE)
## S3 method for class 'boldid':
as.data.frame(x, ...)
get_boldid_(searchterm, verbose = TRUE, fuzzy = FALSE,
  dataTypes = "basic", includeTree = FALSE, rows = NA, ...)

Arguments

searchterm

character; A vector of common or scientific names.

fuzzy

(logical) Whether to use fuzzy search or not (default: FALSE).

dataTypes

(character) Specifies the datatypes that will be returned. See Details for options.

includeTree

(logical) If TRUE (default: FALSE), returns a list containing information for parent taxa as well as the specified taxon.

ask

logical; should get_tsn be run in interactive mode? If TRUE and more than one TSN is found for teh species, the user is asked for input. If FALSE NA is returned for multiple matches.

verbose

logical; should progress be printed?

rows

numeric; Any number from 1 to inifity. If the default NA, all rows are considered. Note that this function still only gives back a boldid class object with one to many identifiers. See get_boldid_

...

Curl options passed on to GET

x

Input to as.boldid

check

logical; Check if ID matches any existing on the DB, only used in as.boldid

Value

• A vector of BOLD ids. If a taxon is not found NA. If more than one BOLD ID is found the function asks for user input (if ask = TRUE), otherwise returns NA. Comes with an attribute match to investigate the reason for NA (either 'not found', 'found' or if ask = FALSE 'multi match')

# Fuzzy searching

# Get back a subset

# When not found
get_boldid("howdy")

# Convert a boldid without class information to a boldid class

as.boldid(get_boldid(c("Agapostemon","Quercus douglasii"))) # same
as.boldid(1973) # numeric
