Usage

core_advanced_search(
  ...,
  page = 1,
  limit = 10,
  key = NULL,
  parse = TRUE,
  .list = list()
)
core_query(..., op = "AND")

Arguments

...

for core_query(), query fields, see Details. for core_advanced_search() any number of queries, results of calling core_query(). Required. See Details.

page

(character) page number (default: 1), optional

limit

(character) records to return (default: 10, minimum: 10, maximum: 100), optional

key

A CORE API key. Get one at https://core.ac.uk/api-keys/register. Once you have the key, you can pass it into this parameter, or as a much better option, store your key as an environment variable with the name CORE_KEY or an R option as core_key. See ?Startup for how to work with env vars and R options

parse

(logical) Whether to parse to list (FALSE) or data.frame (TRUE). Default: TRUE

.list

alternative to passing core_query() calls to ...; just create a list of them and pass to this parameter; easier for programming with

op

(character) operator to combine multiple fields. options: AND, OR

Value

data.frame with the following columns:

• status: string, which will be 'OK' or 'Not found' or 'Too many queries' or 'Missing parameter' or 'Invalid parameter' or 'Parameter out of bounds'

• totalHits: integer, Total number of items matching the search criteria

• data: list, a list of relevant resource

Details

query should be one or more calls to core_query(), (at least one is required):

• title

• description

• fullText

• authors

• publisher: string, to be used as an absolute match against the publisher name metadata field

• repositories.id: repository id

• repositories.name: repository name

• doi: string, to be used as an absolute match against the repository name metadata field (all other fields will be ignored if included)

• oai

• identifiers

• language.name: string, to filter against languages specified in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_639-1

core_advanced_search does the HTTP request and parses, while core_advanced_search_ just does the HTTP request, gives back JSON as a character string
