Search Sharkipedia species names — sp

Matches partial scientific names against the species index. By default this uses a cached index request; set index to a pre-built index from sp_species_urls() to avoid repeated downloads.

Usage

sp_search(query, index = NULL, all_pages = FALSE, cache = TRUE)

Arguments

query: Character vector of search terms (case-insensitive).
index: Optional species index tibble from sp_species_urls(). For comprehensive matching, build the index once with sp_species_urls(all_pages = TRUE) and pass it here.
all_pages: If index is NULL, whether to scan all index pages.
cache: Passed to sp_species_urls() when index is NULL.

Value

A tibble of matching species with species, slug, and url.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
sp_search("Carcharhinus")
} # }
