An R package to access data from EcoTaxa.
The package is not (yet?) on CRAN, so to install:
remotes::install_github("ecotaxa/ecotaxar")
Functions starting with api_ call EcoTaxa's API. This is still a work in progress and not all API endpoints are accessible.
Functions starting with db_ require direct access to the database, which is currently only possible from the internal network of the Laboratoire d'Océanographie de Villefranche (LOV).
A few other convenience functions are provided, to read .tsv files output by EcoTaxa and to handle a hierarchical taxonomy.
