)An object of class gbif_data, which is a S3 class list, with
slots for metadata (meta) and the occurrence data itself
(data), and with attributes listing the user supplied arguments
and whether it was a "single" or "many" search; that is, if you supply
two values of the datasetKey parameter to searches are done, and
it's a "many". meta is a list of length four with offset, limit,
endOfRecords and count fields. data is a tibble (aka data.frame)
(numeric) A taxon key from the GBIF backbone. All included

An identifier of any form assigned by the source to identify the institution the record belongs to.
(character) An identifier of any form assigned by the source to identify the physical collection or digital dataset uniquely within the text of an institution.
(logical) Includes/excludes occurrence records
which contain spatial issues (as determined in our record interpretation),
i.e. hasGeospatialIssue=TRUE returns only those records with spatial
issues while hasGeospatialIssue=FALSE includes only records without
spatial issues. The absence of this parameter returns any record with or
without spatial issues.
(character) One or more of many possible issues with each occurrence record. Issues passed to this parameter filter results by the issue. One of many options. See here for definitions.

(character) the life stage of the occurrence. One of many options.
(logical) identify potentially related records on GBIF.
A number or range. A value of "2000,*" means at least 2km from known centroids. A value of "0" would mean occurrences exactly on known centroids. A value of "0,2000" would mean within 2km of centroids. Max value is 5000.
(logical) whether to skip wellknown::validate_wkt call or not. passed down to check_wkt(). Default: TRUE
Number of records to return. Default: 500. Note that the per
request maximum is 300, but since we set it at 500 for the function, we
do two requests to get you the 500 records (if there are that many).
Note that there is a hard maximum of 100,000, which is calculated as the
limit+start, so start=99,000 and limit=2000 won't work
Record number to start at. Use in combination with limit to
page through results. Note that we do the paging internally for you, but
you can manually set the start parameter

This function is a legacy alternative to occ_search(). It is not
recommended to use occ_data() as it is not as flexible as occ_search().
New search terms will not be added to this function and it is only supported
for legacy reasons.
