sbtools (version 1.3.2)

item_list_files: Get list of files attached to SB item

Description

Lists all files attached to a SB item. Files can be downloaded from ScienceBase using item_file_download.

(advanced) Recursive options lists all files attached to an item and all children items.

NOTE: A sciencebase item can contain so-called "extensions". The sciencebase item data model refers to the information that describes an extension as a "facet". Some extension facets contain files (such as with a shapefile). The "facet" attribute of the return from this function will contain the name of the facet the file came from if the file was found in a facet.

Usage

item_list_files(sb_id, recursive = FALSE, fetch_cloud_urls = TRUE, ...)

Value

A data.frame with columns fname, size, url, and facet. If item has no attached files, returns a zero row data.frame.

Arguments

sb_id

An sbitem object or a character ScienceBase ID corresponding to the item

recursive

(logical) List files recursively. Default: FALSE

fetch_cloud_urls

(logical) fetch a tokenized cloud download URLs? Default: TRUE This option will take slightly longer but the `url` attribute of the returned list will work for direct file downloads or use with pther applications and libraries.

...

Additional parameters are passed on to GET, POST, HEAD, PUT.
