rgbif

rgbif gives you access to data from GBIF via their REST API. GBIF versions their API - we are currently using v1 of their API. You can no longer use their old API in this package - see ?rgbif-defunct.

Please cite rgbif. Run the following to get the appropriate citation for the version you're using:

citation(package = "rgbif")

To get started, see:

• rgbif vignette (https://docs.ropensci.org/rgbif/articles/rgbif.html): an introduction to the package's main functionalities.
• Function reference (https://docs.ropensci.org/rgbif/reference/index.html): an overview of all rgbif functions.
• Articles (https://docs.ropensci.org/rgbif/articles/index.html): vignettes/tutorials on how to download data, clean data, and work with taxonomic names.

Check out the rgbif paper for more information on this package and the sister Python, Ruby, and PHP clients.

We strongly recommend that you use occ_download() rather than occ_search() for getting GBIF mediated occurrences. See article Getting Occurrence Data From GBIF.
