Retrieve External Links or Facts for Taxa from Nordic Microalgae

This function retrieves external links related to algae taxa from the Nordic Microalgae API. It takes a vector of slugs (taxon identifiers) and returns a data frame containing the external links associated with each taxon. The data includes the provider, label, external ID, and the URL of the external link.

Usage

get_nua_external_links(slug, verbose = TRUE, unparsed = FALSE)

Arguments

slug: A vector of taxon slugs (identifiers) for which to retrieve external links.
verbose: A logical flag indicating whether to display a progress bar. Default is TRUE.
unparsed: Logical. If TRUE, the API response with all facts is returned as an unparsed list. Default is FALSE.

Value

When unparsed = FALSE: a data frame containing the following columns:

slug: The slug (identifier) of the taxon.
provider: The provider of the external link.
label: The label of the external link.
external_id: The external ID associated with the external link.
external_url: The URL of the external link.
collection: The collection category, which is "External Links" for all rows.

Details

The slugs (taxon identifiers) used in this function can be retrieved using the get_nua_taxa() function, which returns a data frame with a column for taxon slugs, along with other relevant metadata for each taxon.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
  # Retrieve external links for a vector of slugs
  external_links <- get_nua_external_links(slug = c("chaetoceros-debilis", "alexandrium-tamarense"))
  head(external_links)
} # }
