How download datasets from GBIF in R via rgbif

Closed this issue · 3 comments

This tutorial shows how to

  1. trigger a download in R containing occurrences
    1. of a list of taxa
    2. of a specific occurrence dataset, e.g. a INBO published dataset
  2. get a checklist dataset, e.g. a relevant checklist e.g. the GRIIS dataset

This tutorial is strongly based on functions of package rgbif.

This tutorial is still relevant, but it should take into account the new documentation published by John Waller, the new rgbif maintainer. A lot of information is already present. See PR #318

The new vignette https://docs.ropensci.org/rgbif/articles/getting_occurrence_data.html is awesome! It covers 1.i completely.

Everything about triggering downloads is covered by very well written rgbif vignettes!
The only I think I could cover in this tutorial is part 2, which can be seen as a specific case of rgbif::names_usage() not mentioned in the taxonomic names vignette.
