stationid returning more than specified station

[gacolitti]

I'm getting more than I bargain for when passing one station id with stationid argument to ncdc.

For example:

library(lubridate)
#> 
#> Attaching package: 'lubridate'
#> The following objects are masked from 'package:base':
#> 
#>     date, intersect, setdiff, union
library(rnoaa)

d <- ncdc(
  datatypeid = "TMAX",
  datasetid = "GHCND",
  station_id = "GHCND:USW00094728",
  limit = 1000,
  startdate = make_date(year = 1869),
  enddate   = make_date(year = 1869 + 1) - 1
)

unique(d$data$station)
#>  [1] "GHCND:ASN00066062" "GHCND:ASN00074128" "GHCND:ASN00086071"
#>  [4] "GHCND:ASN00090015" "GHCND:AU000005901" "GHCND:BE000006447"
#>  [7] "GHCND:CA006101872" "GHCND:CA006106362" "GHCND:CA006110549"
#> [10] "GHCND:CA006122845" "GHCND:CA006137735" "GHCND:CA006139520"
#> [13] "GHCND:CA006148100" "GHCND:CA006150689" "GHCND:CA006153192"
#> [16] "GHCND:CA006158350" "GHCND:CA006166416" "GHCND:CE000043497"
#> [19] "GHCND:EI000003969" "GHCND:EIE00101859" "GHCND:EZE00100082"
#> [22] "GHCND:GM000004204" "GHCND:GME00125218" "GHCND:ITE00100550"
#> [25] "GHCND:ITE00100554" "GHCND:SZ000006717" "GHCND:UK000047811"

I expect only "GHCND:USW00094728" to be returned.

looks like you have station_id. Did you try stationid ?

[gacolitti]

That was it. Sorry for not catching that.
