Get download URLs from a Dryad identifier (DOI)

dryad_files('10.5061/dryad.1758')
#> [1] "http://datadryad.org/bitstream/handle/10255/dryad.1759/dataset.csv?sequence=1"
#> [2] "http://datadryad.org/bitstream/handle/10255/dryad.1759/README.txt?sequence=2"

Download a file

Does not read file into, just a helper to get data files

dryad_fetch(dryad_files('10.5061/dryad.1758'))

By default dryad_fetch() will download to temporary files (note that these are cleaned up at the end of your R session). Check out the documentation for other options.

Get file DOIs from a package DOI

dryad_package_dois('10.5061/dryad.60699')
#> [1] "10.5061/dryad.60699/1" "10.5061/dryad.60699/2" "10.5061/dryad.60699/3"
#> [4] "10.5061/dryad.60699/4" "10.5061/dryad.60699/5" "10.5061/dryad.60699/6"

Get metadata for a DOI

Works for both package DOIs and for DOIs for files within packages

dryad_metadata('10.5061/dryad.9t0n8')

News

rdryad 0.4.0

NEW FEATURES

  • gains new function dryad_metadata() to download Dryad file metadata
  • gains new function dryad_package_dois() to get file DOIs for a Dryad package DOI (a package can have many files) (#22)

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

  • dryad_files (formerly download_url()) now scrapes Dryad page to get URLs to Dryad files instead of using their API, which was not dependable (#26)
  • dryad_fetch gains a parameter try_file_names (a boolean) which if TRUE we try to extract file names out of URLs (#26)

BUG FIXES

  • fix to solr rdryad functions to hard code use of xml return format, and followlocation to follow any redirects (#27)

DEFUNCT

  • download_url() is now defunct, see dryad_files()

NOTE

  • two new pacakage dependencies: tibble and data.table

rdryad 0.3.0

NEW FEATURES

  • Move to using solrium package instead of solr package for interaction with Dryad's Solr backend (#21) (#24)
  • Now using crul instead of httr for HTTP requests (#23)
  • gains two new functions handle2doi and doi2handle to convert between handles and DOIs, and DOIs and handles, respectively (#25)
  • download_url function name has been changed to dryad_files, but you can still use download_url until the next version. In addition, download_url/dryad_files parameters id is changed to doi.

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

  • dryad_fetch is improved, and uses curl::curl_download instead of download.file. It now accepts >1 input URL, but destile length must equal number of urls.

rdryad 0.2.0

NEW FEATURES

  • Re-worked most of the package.
  • New package API, some methods are the same, but many are different. (#16)
  • New functions (see functions starting with d_*()) to interact with Dryad Solr search engine (#10)
  • OAI-PMH functions now using internally the oai package. (#14)

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

  • Slimmed down dependencies to a smaller set.
  • Changed license from CC0 to MIT (#17)
  • Added more tests (#18)
  • Changed function to get files to only download them, and not attempt to read them into R, which introduces a very long dependency chain (#15)

rdryad 0.1.1

BUG FIXES

  • removed read.jpeg as a dependency

rdryad 0.1

NEW FEATURES

  • released to CRAN
