bcdc_get_record: Show a single B.C. Data Catalogue record

Description

Show a single B.C. Data Catalogue record

Usage

bcdc_get_record(id)

Value

A list containing the metadata for the record

Arguments

id

the human-readable name, permalink ID, or URL of the record.

It is advised to use the permanent ID for a record rather than the human-readable name to guard against future name changes of the record. If you use the human-readable name a warning will be issued once per session. You can silence these warnings altogether by setting an option: options("silence_named_get_record_warning" = TRUE) - which you can put in your .Rprofile file so the option persists across sessions.
