A programmatic interface to the Web Service methods provided by
    Bold Systems for genetic barcode data. Functions include methods for
    searching by sequences by taxonomic names, ids, collectors, and
    institutions; as well as a function for searching for specimens, and
    downloading trace files.

Interface to Bold Systems API

bold-package function

This package gives you access to data from BOLD System <url>http://www.boldsystems.org/</url> via
their API.

About

There are currently four functions.<ul><li>bold_specimens - Search for specimen data.</li><li>bold_seq - Search for and retrieve sequences.</li><li>bold_seqspec - Get sequence and specimen data together.</li><li>bold_trace - Get trace files.</li></ul>Interestingly, they provide xml and tsv format data for the specimen data, while they provide
fasta data format for the sequence data. So for the specimen data you can get back raw XML, or
a data frame parsed from the tsv data, while for sequence data you get back a list (b/c
sequences are quite long and would make a data frame unwieldy).
