Usage

ppo_data(
  genus = NULL,
  specificEpithet = NULL,
  termID = NULL,
  fromYear = NULL,
  toYear = NULL,
  fromDay = NULL,
  toDay = NULL,
  bbox = NULL,
  limit = NULL,
  timeLimit = 60
)

Arguments

genus

(string) a plant genus name

specificEpithet

(string) a plant specific epithet

termID

The function is called with parameters that correspond to values contained in the data itself which act as a filter on the returned record set.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
r1 <- ppo_data(genus = "Quercus", termID='obo:PPO_0002313', limit=10, timeLimit = 4)

r2 <- ppo_data(fromDay = 1, toDay = 100, bbox="37,-120,38,-119", limit=10, timeLimit = 4)

my_data_frame <- r2$data
# }
