rgbif: A programmatic interface to the Web Service methods
provided by the Global Biodiversity Information Facility.

A programmatic interface to the Web Service methods
provided by the Global Biodiversity Information Facility ('GBIF';
<https://www.gbif.org/developer/summary>). 'GBIF' is a database
of species occurrence records from sources all over the globe.
'rgbif' includes functions for searching for taxonomic names,
retrieving information on data providers, getting species occurrence
records, getting counts of occurrence records, and using the 'GBIF'
tile map service to make 'rasters' summarizing huge amounts of data.

rgbif-package function

This package gives you access to data from GBIF <a href="http://www.gbif.org/">http://www.gbif.org/</a>
via their API.

About

The old GBIF API was at http://data.gbif.org/tutorial/services, but is now
defunct - that is, not available anymore. We used to have functions that
worked with the old API, but those functions are now not available anymore
because GBIF made the old API defunct.
