wikitaxa
- Taxonomy
data from Wikipedia
The goal of wikitaxa
is to allow search and taxonomic
data retrieval from across many Wikimedia sites, including: Wikipedia,
Wikicommons, and Wikispecies.
There are lower level and higher level parts to the package API:
The low level API is meant for power users and gives you more control, but requires more knowledge.
wt_wiki_page()
wt_wiki_page_parse()
wt_wiki_url_build()
wt_wiki_url_parse()
wt_wikispecies_parse()
wt_wikicommons_parse()
wt_wikipedia_parse()
The high level API is meant to be easier and faster to use.
wt_data()
wt_data_id()
wt_wikispecies()
wt_wikicommons()
wt_wikipedia()
Search functions:
wt_wikicommons_search()
wt_wikispecies_search()
wt_wikipedia_search()
