searchbyterm() and bigsearch() reworked: both functions now have the first parameter as ..., which accepts any valid query parameter. There were so many query parameters for these functions it was a bit overwhelming. See ?searchbyterm docs for details (#66)searchbyterm() fix: booleans need to be converted to VertNet's expected 0/1 instead of true/false (#66)searchbyterm (#64)Added Code of Conduct.
crul package for HTTP requests instead of httr (#57)verbose parameter has been replaced with messages throughout
the package.traitsearch() (#55)dump functions are now defunct. Those functions tried to help users
work with bulk Vertnet data - the setup has gotten too complex (#56)traitsearch() function on what
fields have given data (#58) thanks @gauravvertsearch() and searchbyterm() gain new parameter only_dwc, which
allows to optionally only return Darwin Core fieldsvertsummary() (#59)searchbyterm() gains new parameter query to allow full text search,
much like vertsearch(), but with the ability to also use all the parameters
available in searchbyterm() (#53)dplyr::bind_rows instead of the deprecated dplyr::rbind_all (#51)methods/stats/utils), and removed
some package dependencies that we didn't really need (plyr) (#54)httr::content() (#47)externalptr error in the internal vert_GET() function (#48)bigsearch() in which we had forgotten to do
internal conversion of logical input to 0/1 needed by the web
API (#46)dump_links() gives you links to various data dump
resources; dump_init() initialized a SQLite database connection;
dump_tbl() creates a dplyr::tbl object, which can then be used
in a dplyr query. This setup requires that the user manually
download data dumps uncompress, and load into SQLite. We hope to
make this process easier in the future. (#36)vertmap() for new ggplot2 version (#43)bigsearch() for how to read in data
after obtaining the data (#44)searchbyterm() function. When the parameter stateprovince
was used, lead to error, as that param requires different handling than
other params. (#45)vert_id() to get occurrence records by occurenceid,
that is, single occurrence ids. (#40)occurenceID to occurrenceid to simplify life (#41)searchbyterm() and bigsearch() have some parameters that accept multiple values.
Fixed to allow this (#37)searchbyterm(), spatialsearch(), and vertsearch() reworked to
use cursor so we internally do paging for you for bigger result sets. (#25)data.table import with dplyrskip_on_cran() (#38)Package completely reworked for the new VertNet API.
vertavailablemaps(), vertlocations(),
vertoccurrence(), vertoccurrencecount(), vertproviders(),
verttaxa() are now defunct. You can call these functions, but
they print an error message, saying they are defunct.bigsearch(), searchbyterm(),
spatialsearch(), and vertsummary().RJSONIO replaced with jsonlite
