Hey @chartgerink , Will get back to you asap...S
Hi @chartgerink You can pass any of the arguments in the original api to entrez_search www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK25499/#_chapter4ESearch
So, a retstart
argument to entrez_search
to give you something like:
plasticity_ids <- entrez_search("pubmed", "phenotypic plasticity", retmax = 2600, retstart = 500)$ids
Should work for you.
Thanks! I will make sure the package is cited when we try to publish our findings. :+1:

Great! Let me know when you do!
Hi,
I am using the rpubmed package (latest dev version from github) to retrieve links to articles and download the HTML subsequently. To create a more stable function, I want to retrieve the ids from entrez_search() in incremental steps (e.g., 1-1000 first, then 1001-2000, etc). However, I cannot find the argument where I can specify the starting number for the returns of the search (e.g., 1001). Is there a way to specify it?—if so, what is the argument?
It is a very tiny question, but I could not find it anywhere.
Best and thanks for the awesome package, Chris
