traits (version 0.2.0)

traitbank: Search for traits from EOL's Traitbank.

Description

Search for traits from EOL's Traitbank.

Usage

traitbank(pageid, cache_ttl = NULL, ...)

Arguments

pageid

A page id. I know, not ideal. Would be better if this was a trait id or trait name. This is the page ID for a taxon, not a trait. Apparently, traits don't have pages. Note: this parameter used to be trait, but badly mis-represented what the input actually represents.

cache_ttl

Cache code

...

Curl options passed on to GET

Details

See http://eol.org/data_glossary for human readable definitions for the attribute terms that EOL uses. Go to http://eol.org/data_search for the web interface to Traitbank.
