Ability to download occurrences using a given download DOI #5389

Closed laurabrenskelle closed 3 months ago

laurabrenskelle commented 3 months ago

Hello! It is possible this capability exists and I am misunderstanding something in the API or rgbif documentation. Is there a way to use a download DOI (example: https://doi.org/10.15468/dl.vwcmx2) to download all of the occurrences associated with the DOI in an automated way without having to go to the website and download them manually?

If not, can this capability be added?

Thank you!

Very quickly as I'm about to leave the office:

  1. http://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/download/10.15468/dl.vwcmx2
  2. see the downloadLink, https://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/download/request/0020688-240626123714530.zip

It isn't yet possible to do in rgbif.

I have added an issue about it.

You can use the download id however. 

occ_download_get("0020688-240626123714530") %>% 
occ_download_import()

Thank you, @jhnwllr! That is the functionality I was looking for.
